Mirroring Hope

I am surprised in a manner that defies my understanding...

Over and over again and yet I forget about what that is told to me in so many occasions.

I am asked to be one of the speaker for Easter Sunday at church to deliver a short sermon in regards to the Resurrection and seeing that I am sharing this topic with someone else, I needed to look deep into the same scripture and draw out something unique that I won't overlap the message of the other person.

The one thing that stood out to me was the responses of the women and disciples in regards to the missing body of Christ. They all, or at least most of them where baffled with the situation as if they did not know about the Resurrection. But it has been in many occasion just as I have been where they were notified about Jesus' resurrection, yet they all forgotten and found themselves puzzled by the situation. Some even mourned in confusion for the missing body of Christ.

I have been mourning for a very long time in circumstances where knowledge of hope and guidance were not estranged to my understanding. But my display in lack of faith has caused me to look utterly stupid... simply because I forget.

Such is a message that God has led me to prepare, to bring reminder to the church, have now led me into the reminder for my own demise and forgetfulness.

Where has hope been? Lost and buried deep within the confines of my own mind.
