He Is Risen - Rejoice

Behold. The door to the tomb has been rolled aside and it is empty. Let us rejoice and be glad.

What a confusing time it must have been for Mary and the Apostles that first Easter Sunday.  What we celebrate most enthusiastically now must have caused great distress back then. Where was the body of Jesus?  Why was He taken? Where is He now?

In modern times, how can we take times of distress and interpret them as a celebration. It takes a refocusing of the mind... to see beyond the current circumstance.  Those who know me well know I'm fond of saying "Let go. Let God."  Part of this is to understand that you have a wonderful place in God's plan. Even though parts of your journey may be troublesome the destination is worthwhile.
