Go in peace. -Luke 7:50

Surrendering the Script

From arrest to hug. From accusations to baptism. From being far away from each other to being friends.

There are some stories only God can tell.

When we refuse to stay stuck in old ways of thinking about ourselves — or others — new life is possible. What were once relationships of conflict can be transformed into places of reconciliation. What was once shame can now be dignity. And fear can turn into trust.

Resurrection is not just an event that occurs at the end of our lives. Resurrection occurs every time a person's story changes. Every time we allow for grace to transform what seems like it will never change. Every time we believe that there is no one so broken that they cannot be redeemed — not the person that caused harm, not the person that was harmed, not even us.

That is the essence of the good news — fierce love that refuses to give up on anyone.

When we cease to hold on to judgment and walk into a relationship with someone, we will find that the river of grace has always been flowing.

No one is too far gone to experience resurrection.

Reflection Question
Who in your life feels “beyond repair,” and how might God be inviting you to see resurrection possibilities there?

Prayer
God of new beginnings, help me trust that Your grace is stronger than any past story. Teach me to believe in resurrection—in others and in myself.
