Looking for the Resurrection in the Midst of Pain

It is so easy to lose sight of hope in the midst of pain.  Trauma and fear can cause your faith to be overshadowed by loss.  Jesus does not leave us there, though.  The disciples on the morning of Jesus’ Resurrection were acting a lot like we do today.  They are lessons in how to not deal with fear, pain, discouragement and loss. 

Despite their mistakes, Jesus does not leave them orphans.  He seeks them out and brings them back to Him.  He is the Good Shepherd.
