For those who would call themselves Christ-Followers, Sunday was HUGE! It was a day of rejoicing. A day of proclaiming Jesus’ victory over Satan, sin, and death. A day of innumerable “He is risen / He is risen indeed!” exchanges with “Marco? Polo!” precision. You know, all the things that we appropriately do on Easter [...]
