Easter 2025; Faith in Fathoms, A Sonar Savior, and How Deep Can a Sunday Truly Go

Mark 16:1-8

John 20:11-17

John 19:25

How to Switch from Fathom to Sonar:

1 - Resurrection life does not come without pain, scars, and a grave... but it always has faith and never lets go of its belief in healing, wholeness and life. The depths of your understanding of Jesus are shown by the depths of belief in His good when everything feels bad, is going wrong, and the reasoning isn't adding up. He was willing to endure the worst humanity had to offer for you, are you willing to endure anything in your pursuit of Him? Resurrection power is not about what got you into the grace, it's about what can take you out of it.

2 - If the cross can change from a symbol of torture to triumph, what in your life is Jesus wanting you to believe His resurrection power can rewrite, reorient, and redefine? Even those close to Him struggled to recognize Him and even doubted Him... but recognition came in the process of time in proximity. Sometimes our relationship with Him is so time sensitive, that He cannot properly train us to make our time sensitive to Him. He is the only one who can roll the stones away from whatever is trying to entomb your life.

3 - Don't tell a father what their child cannot do. This is a Sunday we recognize a father's love, and the father's ability to never leave his song behind. If your understanding of God and His love for you has not reframed your ability and vision of your life, you need a new sonar. Resurrection Sunday is about the Spirit of God now transcending the barrier of a singular body and becoming omnipresent for all people. Every child now has the power of the Father, resurrection life of the Son, to walk in the Spirit. He does not expect too much of you, you expect too little of yourself.
