Eleven men sat in a darkened room. Amidst the darkness was a mixture of hopelessness and confusion. All their dreams and hopes were bound in grave cloths, lying cold and still in a dark tomb.

 

They waited in the darkened room. The doors were bolted shut. Certainly those who had killed Jesus would be coming for them. The deafening silence was broken each time one of them coughed or shifted in a chair. Shuffling feet and heavy sighs served as reminders of the tension. But then, in an instant, he was there! In the room! In the light of the flickering candles he showed them all the proof they needed. His hands. His side. He was there!! Alive!! Every word he had spoken was true! Every promise fulfilled! Death conquered, forever!

 

Today many live in a darkened world, leading lives of fear, confusion, discontentment, and despair. Searching for meaning and significance in all the wrong places. Occupying themselves with busy days. Losing sleep over things that matter little. Losing time over things that matter most. And all the while, he is there. Have you seen the risen Savior in your darkened world? He is there! Follow him in the resurrection of new life!
