That every believer would see the ascension not as Christ’s absence but as His enthronement—first in heaven, and now within us. That we would dethrone the false kings that have ruined our hearts and our world, and join the King’s holy heist—bringing His reign of love, justice, wisdom, and grace to the earth through His Spirit alive in us.

The resurrection is hard to believe, but without it, life is empty and purposeless. Jesus met Thomas in his doubts, gave him what he needed to believe, and transformed him into a bold witness. In the same way, Christ meets us in our doubts, shows us His scars, and calls us to believe so we might receive new life and purpose.

We lost our humanity by reaching for life, love, freedom, and strength apart from God. But God became fully human in Christ, taking on our weakness, guilt, shame, and death—to restore us to true humanity.

When we don’t understand the kind of story we’re living in, we reel with anger toward God and run toward destruction. But the Author has stepped into our tragedy—taking the curse we wrote—and rewritten it into a redemptive story.

When we steal God’s pen, our story ends in tragedy. But Jesus has written Himself into our story to rewrite it into abundant life.
