John 20.1-18-Then the other disciple, the one who had gotten there first, went into the tomb, took one look at the evidence, and believed.
2 Chronicles 31- Then they all went back home and resumed their everyday lives.
Psalm 87-This one, this one, and this one---born again, right here.
Psalm 54-You have rescued me from all my troubles...

Tree branches in the wind. Tree branches with the cloudy sky as a backdrop. Life surrounded by the eternity of the sky above. I think that may be the evidence that disciple saw in the tomb. Not just some cloth-- but Life surrounded by eternity. Life in Jesus set in eternity. Eternal life. And then the belief. Jesus brings Life out of the death of the tomb and allows his children to return home and resume their everyday lives in the assurance of his Love and Grace. We can leave the Sunday worship knowing that as we return to our Monday lives, Jesus will be with us. With each one of us--this one---this one-- born again--right here. In our Monday lives Jesus rescues us from all our troubles and takes the branches of life surrounded by an eternal sky and gives us Life and Love to display to the world. Go! Go to the everyday life and live in Jesus' eternal Life.

Lord, send me this day to my ordinary place to live in love an extraordinary Life in you. ---Amen
