He is risen!

Today is the big one.

I don't worship a set of ideas.

I don't worship a moral framework

I don't worship an institution.

I don't worship a book.

I don't worship a dead prophet.

I don't worship a cultural identity.

I don't worship a distant God.

I worship a living God, who came to us.

I worship a risen Lord.
