    Easter becomes an opportunity to imagine God would be present in our lives to roll away the stone from the graves in the darkest recesses of our souls.

    There is a sign in Theo & Stacy’s Greek Restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that says, “People who believe the dead never come back to life should be here at quitting time.” Let me tell you an Easter story: A long time ago a Frenchman incurred the displeasure of the emperor Napoleon.

     | 7,604 views

    God may not be prominent in the proceedings but He is present and sovereignly in control. God works out His purpose through people and fulfils His will.

    When we read the events of the last few chapters in II Kings, we did not see God appearing or saying much. But we know that He is the primary Actor. • He might not be prominent but He is present, and working behind the scenes even when we don’t see Him much. • We see that again in 2 Kings 11. ...read more
