I was up extra early on Easter Sunday. I was really looking forward to hearing Pastor preach the Word. It was also Daniel's first Easter! We all got dressed up and Daniel was especially handsome. I tried to match my tie to the rest of his outfit.
Pastor preached on the Resurrection from the Gospel of Mark. The sermon focused on the women's desire to wake up early to anoint the body of Christ with spices as a final act of love. They wondered how they were going to move the large stone which blocked the entrance of the tomb. They were surprised to find the stone was already rolled aside and that Jesus had risen from the dead!
Pastor also pointed out a small detail where the resurrected Christ informed the women to inform the rest of the disciples and Peter. It was interesting that Jesus individually named Peter as he probably felt unworthy to be a disciple after he denied knowing Jesus 3 times prior to the crucifixion. It's a reminder of Jesus' unbounded love and forgiveness.
It was unfortunate though that Tary and Daniel did not get to hear most of the sermon. Daniel decided to exercise his lungs in the sanctuary and let out several very impressive outbursts. Hopefully the audio system will be installed soon in the downstairs nursery so we won't have to miss hearing any more sermons.
