The first Easter Sunday began with frightened women and perplexed men peering into an empty grave looking for their friend who had been killed a few days earlier.
They were looking in the wrong place.
They would find him and their worlds would be turned upside down.
It’s just that he was never going to be found in a graveyard. He had risen.
Life would never be the same again.
Sometimes our pain is caused by the reactions of others.
We can be overcome by their disapproval and condemnation of us and the way we live.

Watch how Jesus deals with the sense of guilt and the condemnation of others.

Anxiety preys on all of us.

But if we are going to see the world differently, we need to allow our assumptions about life to be challenged.
It’s what Jesus did to people in his time. It’s what he still does.
