It’s hard to let go of our kids. As they get older, they step forward… and away. They assume more responsibility and more autonomy.

Imagine being so invested in one thing that it's all you can do... all you can think about. You ate it, drank it... lived it.

Peter nails it, doesn’t he? After reminding people of Jesus’ ministry - his life, death and resurrection...

It's as if it were too good to be true...

"On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus." (vs.1-3) Then those women were asked, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!" (vs.5b-6a)

This week is a big one... we refer to it as Holy Week but that is definitely a term applied in hindsight.

Having experienced a pivotal point in his ministry and with his disciples, Jesus continues to color outside the lines of tradition.

Something is happening... Jesus' followers witnessed an unmistakeable turning point in Jesus' ministry and now this...

Jesus is “doing” the ministry we are used to hearing about… but what about the faith of the people?

The word was getting out and crowds were gathering to hear Jesus speak and to be healed.
