SERMON SUMMARY
Life is fragile. With the ring of a doorbell, life can change forever. You get up thinking about your schedule for the day and in a heartbeat it’s changed. It doesn’t matter how important your agenda was for the day; it all gets rearranged.

You can take your vitamins, exercise every day, never drink and drive, wear your seatbelt, eat right, and not smoke, and the Grim Reaper is still there. The great interrupter stills roams around. If this life is all there is, then at best there is uncertainty, and then, the Grim Reaper.

Death is almost always inconvenient. It’s almost always an interruption. It’s not something that fits easily in to our palm piloted life. Death is starting out in to the light of the day and being enveloped in darkness.

Easter is about recapturing the light.

"I remember the year I lost my three friends. Above all else I want Easter to be true because of its promise that someday I will get my friends back. I want to abolish that word irreversible forever. I suppose you could say I want to believe in fairy tales." - Phil Yancey
