Listen

Jesus replied, “Do you believe because you see me? Happy are those who don’t see and yet believe.”

Then Jesus did many other miraculous signs in his disciples’ presence, signs that aren’t recorded in this scroll. But these things are written so that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, God’s Son, and that believing, you will have life in his name.

John 20:29-31

Think

In the year 2019, Christians are by definition those who believe without having seen. One of the challenges we face in contemporary times is that when we proclaim our belief and describe Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we may be stereotyped or mocked. It can be hard in secular culture to talk about the ways that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus have formed and transformed us to be agents of love in a world that so desperately needs it.

How will you proclaim your belief and faith in ways that are unique and authentic to you, and that have meaning for others in an increasingly secular world? How will you be an ambassador for the message of God’s unconditional love?

Go

Alleluia! Christ is risen!
