Christian Life can be hard

There are times when you have that “mountain top” experience. But there are also times when you hit a wall and nothing makes sense and your world seems to be falling apart. Think about Mary. Jesus saved her, yet in the end she cried when He died. She cried when she went to the tomb to finish the burial process. The world will try to bury him…and you may grow discourage. It is the abandoned tomb that gives you hope, for it symbolizes the life that is yours from your risen Lord. The empty tomb promises that nothing, not even death itself, can defeat the purposes of your Lord. Are you weeping beside an empty tomb?
