"Peter saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself" (John 20:6-7). There are decisive moments in our lives which mark turning points, or comings of age.  The day you left high school, the day you got your driver's license, the day you moved into your own place, for some of you the day you got married.  These are personally significant moments of transition if life.  However, the resurrection is a universally significant moment, the dawning of a new day, the beginning of a new age of history overlapping with the closing scenes of this present evil age.  The Great Exchange in Christ's death also effects the Great Transition in Christ's resurrection.  We don't yet get to see the risen king Jesus, like the disciples and Thomas did, instead He remains hidden from our eyes.  In the same way, we do not yet see the full glory of God's kingdom.  Today the kingdom reign of Christ is hidden beneath the cross - it's power is veiled by weakness, suffering and apparent foolishness.  We advance God's kingdom by living cross-centred lives, preaching the message of the cross, and being prepared to suffer for Christ.  In this new day we await the unveiling, revelation, or glorious appearing of our Saviour when He brings His kingdom in power and glory.  He is risen, He is the king, and He make all things right.  This is the story that your life is participating in today and in which you can play your part as you live and work for His glory!  Please consider signing up to help one of the few remaining nights at Chat65: http://www.carrubbers.org/chat65/
