Jesus is Risen! There is a story about a missionary couple who had spent forty years on their mission field. When they retired, they sailed home. There was an Army General on the ship. They had many conversations on the journey. The General could not understand the missionaries, and why they had done all this hard work for no visible reward. When their ship reached the homeport, there was a big crowd there to welcome the Army General, waving and cheering. The Army General was welcomed home as a hero. The missionaries were met by no one. But, as they wondered why, they seemed to hear a voice which said, "You’re not home yet."They smiled, for they knew at their hometown train station all their friends would be there. They made the trip home, looking forward to seeing everyone. And, when the train pulled into the home station, they looked out of the window. But there was no one there. At that point the missionary was overwhelmed by disappointment. But his wife put her hand on him, smiled, and said, "We’re not home yet." We are not home yet, as we are human, we expect worldly rewards. However, his 40 years’ experience as a missionary led him to be satisfied that he would recoup his reward when he reached home. Isn’t it for you and me as well. He is Risen indeed!
