God Overcomes Death, watercolour in sketchbook 

Day 33 (Sunday)  

By becoming flesh in Jesus,       
     God makes all things new.
In Jesus’ life, teaching, and self-offering,       
     God empowers us to live in love.
In Jesus’ crucifixion,       
     God bears the sin, grief, and suffering of the world.
In Jesus’ resurrection,       
     God overcomes death.
Nothing separates us from the love of God.
