The news of Jesus’ resurrection doesn’t just change what we believe; it changes who we are becoming: renewing hope in the wake of immense loss, calling forth courageous witness in the face of violence, restoring dignity and opening a pathway to belonging. As this news spread, it forced Jesus’ earliest followers to ask hard questions — about who belonged, what it meant to follow Jesus, and how much they were willing to give up to find out. Yet, new creation has never been a private affair. The Spirit that traveled down dusty roads, blew through courtroom testimonies, orchestrated desert encounters, and met the church in its most divisive arguments — that Spirit is still moving today. Still making new creations of ordinary people in unexpected places.
