Upon learning of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples had different reactions. Today's scripture suggests that there is not just one way to react to the empty tomb. Each of us comes to Easter from different places in our faith journey, and with different live experiences. Pastor Tim asserts that this is O.K. Regardless of how we come to Easter, Jesus invites each one of us to come as we are and to find hope, transformation, and new life. The sermon text is John 20: 1-18; the reading of the scripture is included in the podcast. The Rev. Tim Schaefer, pastor, preaching.
