Everything

“Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go” (Joshua 1:16).

No half-hearted maybes. Balking at the unknowns. Questions about personal safety.

No calculating anticipated losses.

Everything and everywhere. 

No turning back.

Resurrection

Resurrection Day 2011. In Delhi, India. We gathered with a body of believers from different nations and people groups. 

We came to Christ out of a variety of religions and cultural traditions and family backgrounds. Some repented and believed as children. Others turned and followed Him in adulthood. 

Each one’s testimony detailing a unique journey to salvation.

He is risen!

On that Resurrection Day we worshiped together as one, in Spirit and in truth. Brothers and sisters in the Lord. 

“Christ the Lord is risen!”
“He is risen indeed!”

The next morning I retrieved and dusted off The Times of India newspaper that landed everyday on the balcony of our second-floor flat. I opened it to the front page. And a striking headline.

Empty garden tomb.
