Watch an Easter message from Bishop Connie Mitchell Shelton.
“Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.”
– Mark 16:6-7
“The good news of Easter is Jesus’ resurrection is unexpected and complete! The triune God’s love for humanity is demonstrated in Christ’s death and resurrection, while we were still sinners, while we are still afraid, while we don’t understand the meaning of the empty tomb – resurrection is near, the risen Christ is ahead, waiting for you. Don’t be afraid. Your story isn’t over, because you are part of God’s unfolding story of resurrection power in the world.”
