Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 20, 2014

It's hard not to use superlatives when discussing the Easter story. In this story we see...1) the darkest hour in all scripture; 2) the biggest discovery in all scripture; and 3) the loveliest word in all scripture (for one of it's characters).

Living The Resurrection Life

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012

Jesus came to this world to die, not to live, and in His death, He fulfilled every promise of God.

In the darkest moments, God performs his greatest acts. Jesus was acclaimed “Son of David” on Palm Sunday. By Maundy Thursday, he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and brought to trial before Annas and Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate and Herod. Friday he was condemned to death and was ...read more

Jesus Appears To Mary Magdalene

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jul 21, 2018

Why is Jesus' post Resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene one of John's four post Resurrection stories

TSJ and TSL 22-07-2018 A touch from the Risen Lord If John’s Gospel had finished with Chapter 19, it would not be something special. All biographies generally end with the death of the person who is the subject of the book. Imagine if it had been with the Gospels. The chances are we would ...read more

Easter Impact

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018

Mary Magdalene has the biggest “narrative impact” on Easter morningI: “I have seen the Lord." Which speaks of her life-transforming experience.

John, called the Beloved Disciple, is clearly the hero of Easter morning! He is spiritually superior with love and understanding; runs fastest. Between John, Peter, and Mary Magdalene— all of whom were at the empty tomb on that first Easter morning— only John had faith in the Physical ...read more

Divine Comedy - Easter Day

Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Apr 17, 2018

Jesus has the last laugh! In Jesus' resurrection, the Creator of the Universe gives His answer to the rejection of His Son at Calvary. In Christ, our lives no longer end in our funeral but rather in the Wedding of the Lamb.

Jokes can be pretty mean, and maybe April 1st, being April Fools Day in some parts, can be a pretty worrying time – you might be always looking over your shoulder, not sure if you’re going to get pranked before mid-day strikes. However, this April 1st, this April Fools Day, also happens to be ...read more

Total Confusion Series

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024

If you feel like you are out of place, don't worry. That first Easter morning no one "got it." So if you don't get it, if you doubt, if you feel like this whole thing is crazy, you are in the right place. We don't have all the answers, we are just looking for them.

Back when I was growing up, there was a pattern almost everyone followed, or at least we appeared to. We woke on Sunday, got into dress clothes, went to Sunday school and worship, and topped it off with a hearty lunch. Then, to further date myself, we would tune our black and white tv on to one ...read more

Jtv: Amazing Race #6 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 30, 2019

Jesus’ rising promotes on external perspective to endure life’s trial. Culture cannot give us this perspective.

He has risen. He has risen indeed. Over the whole season of Lent, we have been taking a fresh look at the Lenten scriptures through the lens of TV. The average American watches over 29 hours of TV and whether we wish to admit it or not, TV infects or affects our lives. From what we purchase to ...read more
