The Rest of the Story
His dad came home and as he passed by his fifteen year old son’s room, his attention was immediately drawn to an unusual atmosphere of neatness. Clothes were folded and his bed was made without wrinkle or fold. He then noticed an envelope with the words “Mon and Dad” on it.
The father’s paranoia shifted into overdrive as he began to read. “Dear mom and dad, I’ve found the love of my life on Tinder. She’s everything I could ever want, absolutely gorgeous, with lots of really cool piercings, and totally smart. We decided it would be best for me to drop out of school and move into her place.
She’s got this quaint little trailer deep in the woods with a really cool five acre garden. All the plants grow tall and green with this truly unique flower sprouting on top. She says we’re going to make a lot of money selling this stuff. Okay… it’s pot, but we’re so isolated the authorities will never find us. I told you she was smart.
We have no trouble getting around cuz she’s thirty-five years old and has her own driver’s license. We plan on having a ton of kids but don’t worry; we’ll be visiting down the road so you can play with all your grandchildren. Love Josh.
PS: None of the above is true. I’m at Jason’s. I just wanted to remind you there are worse things in life than the hideous report card I left on the couch.”
Now, here’s a couple of points to ponder when you think your life is crashing. Jesus told the apostles no less than six times He would be killed, buried, but will rise. By Saturday they had all forgotten everything He promised. When you feel you’re at the end of your rope, what promises of God do you have trouble remembering?
Remember, the resurrection of Jesus separates Christianity from every other religion. We can always trust in our Lord no matter what.
Happy Resurrection Day
