Why does Easter begin with something as heartbreaking — and irreversible — as death? In this honest, layered Easter message, Jeremy shares a deeply personal reflection on parenting, grief, and the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. From losing a beloved family dog to wrestling with theological shorthand that reduces Easter to a transaction, this is an exploration of why the cross is not about God’s anger — but about God’s grace. Through the words of Jesus in John 12, we rediscover: • ✝️ The cross as the judgment of the world, not its condemnation • 🔥 How violence and injustice are exposed, not excused • 🕊 Why the “prince of this world” is not the devil, but the systems and powers we’ve created • 🌱 And how resurrection is not an escape — but the slow, inevitable healing of everything This isn’t about a God who demands suffering. It’s about a God who refuses to look away from our pain — and invites us into a future shaped by peace, forgiveness, and impossible hope. 📖 Featuring insights from John 12, Ephesians, and personal stories of loss and wonder. #Easter #WhyDidJesusDie #TheCross #Resurrection #GriefAndFaith #GoodFriday #EasterSunday #ChristianHope #HolyWeek ★ Support this podcast ★
