This morning, we were blessed to hear from David Kemp, who shared an incredible message based on Matthew 28. After Jesus had died and risen, the disciples worshipped Himâbut some still doubted. Thatâs such a powerful reminder: even in the presence of the risen Savior, some had questions. And thatâs okay.
Sometimes it feels like God comes through for usâand sometimes it feels like He doesnât. In those moments, doubt can creep in. But we still have hope, and thatâs what we cling to.
David challenged us to think about this: What if you had to go through all the hard things in life without Jesus? The truth is, BAD things happenâbut with Jesus, we donât face them alone. Thatâs the difference.
He also played âI Am Not Okayâ by Jelly Rollâa raw and real song that reminds us of the pain many people carry. As believers, we know that even when things arenât okay right now, itâs going to be all right. But so many students around us donât know that.
As we head into Easter weekend, Mr. Kemp told us to look at the people around us differently. Theyâre watching how we respondâto mistakes, struggles, and disappointments. If they see hope in us, they might want what we have. And what we have is Jesus.
The gift has already been paid in fullâproven by the resurrection. Jesus loves everyoneâeven those who seem the furthest from Him. Mr. Kemp reminded us to share that love.
