On the very first Easter the disciples were locked in a house. Instead of sheltering in place, they were shaking in place. ...read more

    It is so easy to put the hope of our salvation onto our achievements as believers. Paul not only shows us the uselessness of such an exercise, he also points us to the only source of our hope which is the resurrection of Jesus.
