HOPE THROUGH THE STORM
What does it mean to walk by faith and not by sight? We can see how it is translated into everyday life. It can be seen in the Palm Sunday tragedy that struck the United Methodist Church in Piedmont, Alabama. While they were celebrating Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, a tornado struck and destroyed their church. Rev. Kelly, the pastor, lost her six-year-old in the storm. And yet, despite the storm, their faith continued. Battered and bruised Rev. Kelly boldly proclaimed the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Still grieving, still battered and bruised, the courageous survivors of this storm held their Easter services in the midst of the ruins of their Church. They proclaimed the good news of the resurrection, of new life, of Christ with us; they proclaimed the message of hope to the community around them. How? Through faith and not by sight.
