him from the dead, along with all
who were baptized into his death and
resurrection.
As familiar as this story may
sound in the South, it is a story that
transformed the world. Whether it is
the creation of hospitals, orphanages,
schools or disaster relief organizations,
Christians are people who run toward
need and even disaster, just as our
Savior ran toward us when we were
in need. Life on earth during times
of peace and disaster would be very
different without a Savior named Jesus
who ran toward the cross.
A number of years ago I faced a
daunting situation that caused me
much fear. I did everything in my
power to avoid the disaster I sensed
looming. Regardless of my best
efforts, the disaster occurred anyway.
In the aermath, I found myself
wondering what to do and where to
go with life and faith. Looking again
at the life of Jesus, I noticed he ran
toward the disaster of the cross, in
anticipation of resurrection. What if,
instead of fearing inevitable failures,
sufferings and deaths that come my
way, I ran toward them humbly like
Jesus, anticipating resurrection (2
Corinthians 4:10)? In retrospect, I
feared disaster and death because I
believed no better life could exist than
the one I had created for myself. I
didn't believe in resurrection – Jesus'
power to raise me from death, failure
and disaster both in this life and the
life to come.
You may be a community
recovering from a hurricane disaster
or an individual reeling aer a storm
of life. Regardless, Jesus' way of life
brings a new reality into the world.
Christians run toward disaster.
Resurrection is coming.

Resurrection Church in Hope Mills.
