Easter

Welcome to the Season of Easter at Ebenezer

On Easter, Christian hope and happiness reach their highest point, for this is the day on which our Lord rose from the dead. The color, then, changes to white and remains that during the entire season of six Sundays. As we stand before the empty tomb we discover with the disciples that Christ's death was not a tragic failure but rather a glorious success. We realize that He entered suffering and death not as a helpless victim but rather as a mighty warrior battling for victory. Faith in the Risen Christ brings us tremedous joy because the victory that He won on this great day is our victory, too. His resurrection paved the way for our resurrection into eternal life hereafter. Furthermore, through Him we can enjoy a thrilling resurrection right now as the Holy Spirit rises up within us through the word and our baptism. CHRIST IS RISEN! He is risen indeed, Alleluia!

(excerpt from Daniel Reuning)
