Sermons From Good Shepherd Lutheran Church In Raleigh, Nc

Easter Celebration Worship Gospel - Luke 24:1-12 There are days when the signs of new life are REALLY hard to see. There are days when life really is that hard, and none of it is fair, and all the news is terrible, and it seems like death has won. There are days when Easter messages sound naïve and empty. That’s when I remember the goo… That’s when I remember that the way that a caterpillar becomes a butterfly in the first place is that it goes into the chrysalis and it turns into goo. It melts, almost completely, and out of that soupy, yucky, gooey, mess, grows a new creation that is more complex and beautiful than anything that came before. To get to trees full of butterflies, first, you gotta go through a lot of goo.
