The Chapel Quotes

If you want to find the bones of Jesus, you’re not going to find them in any tomb. He is not here for He is risen. We want to celebrate the fact that He is not here. Good Friday isn’t good unless resurrection Sunday happens. The work that happened on the cross is validated because the tomb was empty on Sunday. Jesus’ victory became our victory because of what He has done. Because He rose, we get to rise as well.”

“As we follow Jesus, the resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us to transform us more into the likeness of Christ. So many of us have come to the place where we place our faith in Jesus at the cross and the empty tomb, and we’ve stayed there because we believe that it’s the finish-line, but Jesus teaches it’s just the beginning of a journey from where people last saw us. Lord Jesus, we come to you praying that we will not be where people last saw us a year from now.

Devotion 04/05/2026

Our Devotion, “He’ll Take Care of It” is by Andrea Walker of Bellefontaine, Ohio,  a professional writing major at Taylor University. Her devotions have been published in War Cry Magazine and aired on WBCL Radio in Fort Wayne.

Read Matthew 10:24-31

 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” –Matthew 10:28

When I was in elementary school, a boy purposefully threw a basketball at me during recess. The ball hit me in the face, bloodying my nose and bending my glasses. Crying, I ran into the office of the principal, my dad. I told him what happened, and he held me until I stopped sobbing and returned to class. The boy was promptly called to my dad’s office and given a lecture about playing carefully. The next day on the playground, I wasn’t afraid of being hit again. My dad had taken care of it.

As Christians, we don’t have to live in fear. Our Father loves us, and He is in charge! He has secured our peace and protection. Whether we are afraid for ourselves or for those we love, we can remember that Our Savior overcame all that the world put against Him. We have a protector who watches over us continually.

 Father, keep us from fear. Amen.

 Book Review 04/08/2026

42 Seconds 
by Carl Medeari 
NavPress, PB, 154 pages

 On average, Jesus spent less than a minute in every conversation recorded in the first four books of the New Testament. But, according to Medearis, each of these connections made a lasting impact on the listener. Using examples from Jesus’ interactions, ranging from his bravery to his ability to stay present in every situation, Medearis applies these exchanges to our relations between ourselves and people who have not yet accepted Christ into their hearts. He teaches us how to reflect Jesus’ example through being kind, courageous, and present in our interactions.

Medearis provides helpful insights not only through his examples derived from the Gospels but also through anecdotes of his blunders and successes in ministry. Although he speaks with a distinctive voice, his self-deprecating humor and cutesy renditions of what happened in the Gospel narrative often detract from the potential to have a larger impact on the reader. Furthermore, I did not find his observations terribly earth-shattering, but this may be understandable if he may have been attempting to reach readers who are much younger in the faith.

Jesus called his followers to spread the good news to all nations. However, often believers do not know how to facilitate such conversations. By mirroring the Lord’s interactions with those who spoke with him, witnesses can glean a certain amount of information about how to spread the Gospel in a caring but courageous way.
