In this issue of Lutherans Engage the World, you’ll read about many amazing things that God is doing around the world: engaging youth in the faith, caring for refugees, forming deaconesses for service to the church, sharing the Gospel with people in far-flung places. But the mission of the church is not something that “they” are doing “out there.” It’s work that all Christians are involved in — whether in their own neighborhood or by partnering with others across the globe.

In the article “Inviting Mission Partners to the Table,” Eurasia Regional Director Rev. Dr. David Preus says that he hopes the people who attended the recent Germany FORO will return home and tell others, “We have a mission in Germany, and this is what we are doing.” In the same way, we hope you will be encouraged by these examples of how your church is sharing the love and mercy of Jesus Christ all around the globe — all to the glory of God.

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, Alleluia!
These are the words we start Easter with. Our entire Easter season is peppered with these words, salted with them so we may never forget. Jesus Christ truly has risen from the dead. Because we have been baptized into Christ, united to Christ through baptism, we will also rise from the dead (Romans 6). It is very right and fitting we shout, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, alleluia!” 

We need to say these words. We desperately need to be reminded of the reality of Christ’s resurrection from the dead, because the reality we see around us is so often very different looking. We see our parents die, we see our spouses die, our friends, our family, even our children. We see the cold reality of death staring us in the face all the time. This is why we need the warm reality of the resurrection being shouted into our ears.
