"Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!..." (Luke 24:5,6 NKJV)
As a family watched the Easter story on television, the child was deeply moved. As Jesus was tortured and killed, tears rolled down her cheeks. She was absolutely silent until after Jesus had been taken down from the cross and put into the tomb. Then she suddenly grinned and shouted, "Now comes the good part!"
We first hear about the sufferings and death of Jesus during what is often called Holy Week -- if you know the story, it's more like horrors week. However, the hope that we possess comes from the good part, when we read that Christ rose from the grave and conquered sin and death. Today, take heart in the fact that Jesus is the only One who made the good part possible, giving us the Greatest story ever told.
