James and Sonya Herron, IMB Missionaries
Uganda East Africa
Island Ministry team (Upper Buvuma Islands)
The vision of the International
Mission Board is to see a multitude from every language, people, tribe and
nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ
In 2020 He
is Risen…He is Risen Indeed….
Easter 2020 resemble the first Easter morning;
the disciples of Christ were hiding in an upper room filled with fear and
doubt. We are confined to our houses because
of the Coronavirus. Like the first Easter,
many of Christ’s disciples are filled with fear and doubt. Whenever we focus on our situation and problems,
we will experience fear and doubt. We are
made that way. We are human and temporal
and shortsighted. Look at the first
thing Jesus instructed his disciples, He said to them, “Peace to you!” (Luke
24:36b). Jesus is saying to us Easter 2020,
“Peace”. He also ask us the same
question he asked on the first Easter, 38“Why are you troubled?” He
asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? (Luke 24:38). Then Jesus asked them to look
at him test and see it is the risen Christ.
Whenever we focus on our situation, problems and condition we foster
fear and doubt even of our risen Savior.
When we are focus on the Risen Christ, we see his love and power that is
able to sustain us through all that may befall us. He is Risen…He is Risen Indeed….
