Easter Sunday (No Anemic Gods For Me, Thank You Very Much)

Anemic gods become sick and cower
Before the table that showed Jesus’ power.
For He that would govern everything,
First tasted pain and felt death’s sting;
He lay in my grave just to be with me,
Then carried me out and set me free.


The strongest God is One who can walk through our pain with us, and come out breathing on the other side. Our culture teaches us that pain is a bad thing, and is to be avoided at all costs. That's called denial.

Jesus is a realist. He meets us in our pain and brokeness (which is one reason why the unbroken rarely see Him), and takes us through to the other side where there is Life.

Ask Him to take you there today.
