The Power of Easter
The beloved author of the Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien, created the term “eucatastrophe.” For Tolkien, this word described how the protagonists of a story experience a sudden turn of events that saves them from certain doom. Tolkien believed that the coming of Christ was the eucatastrophe of human history. This is the power of love; it is an unstoppable force that prevails, no matter the odds!
Resurrection: The Power of Easter
Throughout the ages, humankind has discovered amazing ways to harness great power. We constructed the Hoover dam to hold back 10 trillion gallons of water to provide power to the states of Nevada, Arizona, and California. We split the atom and discovered how to release incomprehensible amounts of energy. We created the internet, allowing the world to access information in ways earlier generations could’ve never imagined.
And yet, there is a force which all of us are powerless against; sin. No matter what we do or how hard we try, sin always leads to death. Sin is the great catastrophe of human history. It is an unstoppable cancer spreading from one generation to the next.
Until Jesus. At the cross, for the first time in all of history, death was reversed, and a resurrection power was put on display for all the world to see! And God has made this very power available to us all.
The Apostle Paul described this in Philippians 3:10-11 “I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!”
God’s love is a eucatastrophe. It stops the unstoppable, breaks the unbreakable and saves the unsavable! Praise God that his love has come!
Reflection
What do you consider to be impossible in your life? How do those things compare to the resurrection power of God?
Prayer
Father, your Word tells me that with you, all things are possible. Forgive me for thinking otherwise. I invite you to stir up my faith and flood my life with your resurrection power. Thank you that your love has come!

In John 15:13, Jesus told his followers “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” During Easter, we have the opportunity to explore the most significant event of human history: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As we do so, we come face-to-face with the greatest story of love ever recorded. Easter is the time we celebrate that love has come!
