For Wilshire Baptist Church
Easter is coming. Easter is fixed on the calendar based on lunar movements and phases that have been followed for thousands of years. It is pinned to the precise clockwork of a universe that is billions of years old, and to a Creator who is timeless.
Easter is coming, with or without a pandemic. We can’t stop Easter. We can’t postpone it until later to suit our desire for pageantry and tradition. Easter is coming as scheduled, and that’s that.
Easter is coming, and the church will be quiet; the doors will be closed, the lights turned off. But Easter is not locked inside the church. Easter lives in the heart. It was breathed into each of us before we were conceived. It is ours for the having.
Easter is coming, and you can put on your Sunday best if you wish, but Easter isn’t about dressing up. It’s about come as you are, and this year, stay where you are. But more than anything, be who you are — a beloved child of God.
Easter is coming.
