A New Storyline

A devotional for Friday

John 3:16
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son…”

The resurrection changes the entire story. Without it, the story ends in loss, defeat, and a sealed tomb. But because Jesus rose, everything shifts. Death is no longer the final word. Hope becomes possible. A new kind of life opens up - not just someday, but starting now. This isn’t just a story for the people who were there that first Easter morning. It’s an invitation for you. God’s love made a way for restoration, forgiveness, and new life. But this isn’t something we just observe from a distance. It’s something we step into. When we turn toward Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and begin to follow Him, we enter into that new story. A story marked by grace, transformation, and life that continues beyond anything we could imagine.

Question/Challenge:
Have you stepped into the new story Jesus offers or are you still standing at a distance from it?
