[dropcap]I[/dropcap] believe it is the right time, this Easter and beyond, to reflect on a life lived on this side of the resurrection. If the resurrection did happen, then there must be some difference not only in our lives, but also for the world. What is the hope when faced with death, decay, and brokenness? How can one survive the destructive powers of this world?
The answer to this question involves a journey into the tomb and an emergence out of it. The answer lies in taking the time to look at how being raised to new life has changed your life – that is, look at what God has done and not at what he hasn’t done.
The answer lies in choosing to live ‘beyond yourself’. How are you living in ‘dependence’ on the Holy Spirit? Is the life you are living done in your own strength and capacity?
These initial thoughts are influenced by a comment on ‘The Work of the People’ Easter resources
