A
number of years ago retired U.M. Bishop Don Ott was the guest preacher at our
Easter services. In his closing benediction he related the story about a pastor
who was giving a children's sermon on Easter Sunday. The pastor asked the
children what it meant that the tomb was empty. The pastor was expecting the
liturgical response, "Christ is risen." Instead one little girl
replied in a loud voice for all to hear, "Jesus is on the loose!"
That
says a lot, doesn't it? Jesus is on the loose in this world seeking to
transform it into His kingdom. And He's doing it one soul at a time. Is Jesus
on the loose in your life, your family, your work or school, your community?
Please,
God, don't let us re-nail Jesus to the cross or re-seal Him in the tomb. Let us
allow Him to run loose in our lives.
