Reflect

Jesus’ followers didn’t understand that he would have to die to fulfill God’s plan for salvation. They felt very sad about his death. They didn’t understand the next part of the plan either: that Jesus would come alive again! Death wasn’t the end of Jesus’ story! It isn’t the end of our story either. Jesus rose again and went to heaven, promising those who believe in him will do the same. That’s wonderful news! The story of Easter marked the grand finale of God’s plan for salvation. It also opened up the next part of his plan, where we help spread the Good News that God made a way for us to live with him forever. Are you sharing the Easter story?
