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 04/12/2026
Our Devotion, “Along for the Ride” is by Andrea Walker of Bellefontaine, Ohio, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. Her freelance articles have appeared in The War Cry, Church Libraries, Pathways to God and Christian Book Previews.
Read 1 Peter 5:6-11
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
–1 Peter 5:7
At shopping malls young children love trying to run up the down escalator. They pant, arms and legs pumping, as they struggle to make it to the very top against the elevator’s flow. As we head into our teens, we grow out of this habit, but even as adults we often live like we’re going the wrong way on an escalator. We strive and strive but seem to make no progress, while people all around us appear to be moving in the right direction.
God promises that he will lift us up if we will only acknowledge that we need him. When we try to accomplish tasks by our own strength, we wind up frustrated and exhausted. All our hard work doesn’t amount to much. But if we simply stop and submit to God’s will, we discover that he is taking us where we need to go. His spiritual escalator is always moving in the right direction.
Father, help us submit to your will. 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.
