WAITING FOR THE SUNRISE
Today's reading: Luke 23-24

It's 2:30 in the morning, and I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, as my grandmother would call it.

The alram's gone off. The shower's done. The hair is in as good a shape as it ever gets. The make-up is applied. The guys are rousted from their slumber. The coffee has perked.

We're ready to greet the sunrise with our church family.

We're ready to celebrate this glorious day.

We're ready to be reminded that the Tomb is empty.

We're ready to sing 'He Arose', because that's exactly what He did!

The sun is still hours from coming up, but the anticipation is there.

The grave could not keep Him, dear friends!
