 What does Easter mean to me? Let me start by quoting one of my favorite scriptures, John chapter 1 verse 14, that verse reads, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. In Eugene Peterson's message translation of the Bible, that same verse reads, the Word became flesh and blood and moved into our neighborhood. What does Easter mean to me? It means that you and I, we move into the neighborhood. One of the great partners we have in our community is our high school by our Nelson High School. Following the shooting in Parkland, Florida, people came into our fellowship hall and we were there with our superintendent and the principal of school and teachers and parents. And we were there emoting together. We were there connecting with each other. It was a place where the community came so that we could be one together as we seek to move beyond Easter and become the church on the other side of Easter. We're at our strongest, I believe, when we're not only connected to those who are inside of the church, but when we're connected beyond the church. This Easter, let's move beyond the church. Let's move into our communities. Let's move into our neighborhood.
