Scripture for Today, 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒

Scripture for Today, 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲: Psalm 22, Matthew 28:5-9⁣
⁣
𝘏𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘵.⁣
⁣
He has risen from the dead and taken his place in the heavens.⁣
⁣
He has conquered death and birthed everlasting life.⁣
⁣
He has traded sorrow for joy, bondage for freedom, doubt for truth, fear for peace. ⁣
⁣
With all the chaos in our hearts and uncertainties in our lives, we can rest. ⁣
⁣
Not because it’s easy, but because the grave is empty and the body not there.⁣
⁣
𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥.⁣
⁣
Could we, this Easter, when our worlds feel unsettled, rejoice with the same passion and amazement as those who first learned of Jesus’ resurrection?⁣
⁣
While this Easter may look and feel different than expected, we hope today is filled with a deep understanding of Christ’s miraculous resurrection for our salvation.⁣
⁣
We live because He lives.⁣
⁣
He is risen indeed.⁣

Scripture for Today, 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒

Scripture for Today, 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲:⁣⁣
1 Peter 5:10, Lamentations 3:1-9, Lamentations 3:19-24⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“We don't often give space for the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Never before has the concept of this silence of Saturday meant so much…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To some, this experience of life right now may seem like a Saturday that forgot to end. Saturday’s silence torments us. God feels silent, Jesus feels silent and far away. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are stuck in the liminal space between what we knew before and wondering what is to come. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For most of us there is a level of suffering we are experiencing - A sort of collective grieving in what has been lost. Our way of life, graduations, weddings, a chance to gather to say final good-byes to loved ones. All is different. All is unfamiliar and yet familiar. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are set still by the silence of our world around us. It’s unnerving. Our suffering is palatable and so we sit, waiting. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Waiting for our Sunday to arrive.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Read more about Passion Week’s Silent Saturday in Marnee Alfson’s (@riverbendcounseling) post up on the website today! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We know these are rare and complicated times, friends, and seek to walk alongside you as we understand the Truth of Easter in light of them. May this Silent Saturday be one of wondering and contemplation for each of us.⁣⁣

Scripture for Today, 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐢

Scripture for Today, 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲: Matthew 27:45-54, Philippians 2:1-8⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“Jesus showed us on the cross that he is not afraid of our violent terrors or hidden cries, because he cried them, too. He is not afraid of the darkness because he took darkness into himself, bearing the crushing weight of all the sin of all mankind. God is not afraid of our questions, confusion, or doubt. He is not disgusted by our shame, and he isn't surprised or taken aback by the constant, gnawing frailty of our humanness.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
In fact. He welcomes it all. He welcomes us.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The cross of Christ is an altar, a monument, a welcome sign. It is a testament of love and a dark symbol of a bright reality: Jesus came to be with us, no matter the cost us, and he understands the way we feel. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Take another deep breath, my friends: ⁣⁣⁣⁣Jesus understands, and God is near.”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Scripture for today, 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐮

Scripture for today, 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲: Exodus 12:13, Matthew 26:27-29⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Jesus knew he was going to die the next day. He knew he would be betrayed by someone he loved that night. But he celebrated Passover and remembered God’s provision anyway. He praised God alongside his friends despite an internal knowledge of the future. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
He taught despite fear. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
He served despite suffering.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Today, let us do the same. Let us praise God for his deliverance and sovereignty despite our own fear, suffering, or struggles facing the world today. Let us remember God’s faithfulness on this Holy Thursday, just as Jesus did. Let us wonder about His perfect timing and trust that it will continue.”⁣⁣⁣

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: Zechariah 9:9, John 12:12-18⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The prophet Zechariah foretold what was coming more than 500 years before Jesus entered Jerusalem. Branches waved and people cheered for the the man riding into town on a donkey. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As much as today is supposed to be a celebration of remembrance, I can’t help but feel pained on Palm Sunday.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The same people who welcomed the king may have been the ones who chanted to free Barabbas and ogle at Jesus’ death only days later at his crucifixion.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Many of God’s people welcomed the king, but missed their Messiah. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And it makes me wonder what we’re missing, too. What we may misinterpret, misunderstand, and shout from the bandwagon just because it’s what others are doing. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So today, on Palm Sunday, let’s ask the tough questions and truly know the one who rides into our lives and kingdoms asking for His right place. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
May we be women who recognize the One who saves and submit our lives to His glory. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣

Sixteen year-old Arden Windus is our last guest in

Sixteen year-old Arden Windus is our last guest in this month’s 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 series, and we couldn’t be more proud of her candor and hard work. Arden bravely speaks about creating and surrendering to her own gatekeepers as a follow-up to her mama’s article about guarding the hearts of our children. You can find both by using the link in our bio 🔥👆🏼.

These words of wisdom from 14-year-old Kate Kesler

These words of wisdom from 14-year-old Kate Kesler (@_kate_bakes_ @kskesler_7) are up on the website as part of our celebration of young voices this month.

The future really is looking bright 🙌🏼🔥.

Kate Kesler (@_kate_bakes_, @kskesler_7) was only

Kate Kesler (@_kate_bakes_, @kskesler_7) was only 13 when we spent the day baking together. Dozens of sugar cookies, cinnamon rolls and gooey squares lined my kitchen counters when we finished. But that wasn’t even the best part. The best part was the candid conversation we had about the Bible - About not always knowing where to start, not always understanding, and not always “feeling like” reading it. I asked Kate back then if she would consider sharing her journey with the Arise community, and am so proud of her willingness to share.⁣
⁣
We all have to start somewhere, friends. May Kate’s tips and testimony be an inspiration to all. ⁣
