2026 April 5th - Morning Sermon Reflection：From Confusion to Joy
From Confusion to Joy
One thing that stood out to me in the Easter story is how real it feels.
The women were confused. Peter was unsure. No one fully understood what was happening at first.
And honestly, that’s where I often find myself too.
There are many moments in life when I don’t fully understand what God is doing. Things don’t always make sense. Like the disciples, I try to put the pieces together, but they don’t seem to fit.
But what struck me was this: the answer wasn’t complicated.
The angels didn’t give a long explanation. They simply reminded them of what Jesus had already said.
“He is not here. He has risen.”
Sometimes, faith is just that simple. Not having every answer, but choosing to trust what God has already spoken.
I was also really encouraged by Peter. Even after denying Jesus, he still ran to the tomb. He didn’t hide. He didn’t give up. He ran toward the possibility that something new had happened.
That gives me hope.
Because the resurrection means that my past doesn’t define me. There is forgiveness. There is a fresh start.
It also means I don’t have to stay stuck in the present. There is freedom to live differently.
And most importantly, it gives me hope for the future. No matter how dark things seem, God has already shown that He can bring life out of death.
I may not understand everything. But like Peter, I can keep moving forward, trusting that something greater is unfolding.
From confusion to joy—that’s the journey Easter invites us into.
