[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] The Greatest Reversal by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

The greatest reversal occurred in a cemetery outside of Jerusalem. Jesus
the Christ was Jesus the corpse. No pulse, no breath, no hope. And his
followers? They were hiding in the bare cupboards and corners of Jerusalem,
for fear of a cross that bore their names. Their world was broken. Their
hearts were broken. And just when all joy was lost, his heart began to
beat! Eyelids popped open. Pierced hands lifted. Jesus stood and placed his
heel squarely on the head of Satan. And when he did, “the tables were
turned.” No matter how you write it, the Easter morning announcement is
just the same. “[Christ] isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he
said would happen. Come, and see the place where his body was lying”
(Matthew 28:6). The God of the great turnarounds performed his greatest
work.
