If your Easter weekend was dominated by stories of punishment and payoffs, or a resurrection that doesn't matter for you till you die, here's another way to think about it. Christ is Risen and Victorious.

Matt Royal | Easter 2025

Easter 2025 We were last together on Thursday, when Jesus and his disciples shared their last supper before his arrest. At that meal the disciples were perplexed as Jesus washed their feet as if he were their slave, showing them a new way to be free. They were equally perplexed by Jesus' conversation that evening, as he began to talk to them as if he was about to die. Jesus talked about the bread they were eating as if it were his own flesh, and the wine they drank as if it were his blood.

William Garden Blaikie, Scottish Presbyterian, on this world He says it has been designed by God to be improveable for the greater welfare of the human race.

Thinking: penicillin, steel, mosquito netting. Then: opioids, nukes, using asbestos or As2O3 as a pesticide.

These tools around us are a gift from God, but any invention for profit isn’t therefore sanctified.

How can we build & create for our neighbor?
