Here comes Peter Cottontail.... 

Really?

As Resurrection Sunday approaches, I challenge you to do more than get ready for Peter Cottontail, get ready for Peter the deny-er.

Take a look inside yourself and discover how you have sometimes been like those first disciples of Jesus, how you and your life have denied even knowing Jesus... 

... when you hurt someone for hurting you...
... when you hated rather than forgave...
... when you judged for their action, without changing your own...
... when you laughed at, not with...
...  when you put yourself first, rather than God or others...
... when you asked for more, while already having too much...
... when you didn't speak up, and silently let someone else...
... ???....

You know when...

And yet, on Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate that God forgave... us all... 

What will you do with that Good News?

 

 

Peace in our journeys,

 

Pastor Steve Melde
