Week 2: Don't Bury Jesus
Despite their deep belief in Jesus and his teachings, — Joseph securing a tomb for Jesus and the women seeking to preserve his remains—highlight a momentary lapse in fully embracing the promise of resurrection. This reflects a broader spiritual message relevant to many today: the danger of underestimating the boundless power of faith in Jesus. The act of burial, a metaphor for containing belief within the limits of human understanding and doubt, serves as a poignant reminder of the infinite nature of God's ways and the transformative power of living a life fully surrendered to Christ. This message challenges believers to lift the lid off their constrained perceptions of God's power, inviting an explosive faith that transcends the limitations we often impose on ourselves, mirroring the resurrection power that lives within us.
