Our sermon for this morning is actually from last night, by Laura Leslie:
If you're a Christian, you know this is the darkest night of the year, the night before the tomb was found to be empty.
If you're a Christian, you also know that Jesus didn't include an exceptions list on that Easter morning. Not for folks who didn't look like he did, or were poorer than he was, or didn't love the way he did ... or weren't gendered the way he was.
The only people Jesus judged were people who used faith to hurt other people or to make money. In those days, they were called Pharisees, but these days, they're better known as politicians.
So Happy Easter, y'all. And Y'all Means All. My God is a mighty God, and She doesn't make mistakes.
Amen.
