The last week has been filled with sadness in Charlotte, NC. Last Saturday evening, two Charlotte police officers were slain in the line of duty. There was a funeral Thursday and Good Friday.
Church was lovely this morning, as I knew it would be. While listening to the sermon and then partaking in communion, I thought back to the professor's words two weeks ago, "from ignorance comes fear, and from fear comes hatred.
This will remain one of the realities in a fallen world. From where then, do we find love? The answer lies in the message of Christ's resurrection. As with the Christmas message, once we accept our redemption, our view of ourselves and our world is forever changed.
The title of our pastor's sermon this morning was, 'Life Begins From Death'. Alleluia!
