Pastoral Letter: A Journey Toward Resurrection Hope
Dear Beloved in Christ,
As we pass the halfway point of our Lenten journey, we move ever closer to the joy of Easter morning. This sacred season of reflection, repentance, and renewal is a time to prepare our hearts for the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though Lent invites us into a season of sacrifice and self-examination, it also leads us toward the hope and victory found in the empty tomb.
Throughout these weeks, we have walked the path of Christ’s suffering, remembering His humility, His love, and His unwavering obedience to the Father. But our journey does not end at the cross—it leads to resurrection, to new life, and to the promise of redemption. As the days lengthen and the light of spring begins to break through the darkness of winter, we are reminded that the love of Christ is victorious over sin and death.
Let us hold fast to this hope. Even in our struggles, we are never without God’s grace. Even in moments of weariness, we can lift our eyes to the risen Christ, who walks beside us and strengthens our hearts. The promise of Easter is not just for one day, it is a living reality that transforms us daily, filling us with faith, joy, and renewed purpose.
As we anticipate the celebration of resurrection, may we embrace the remaining days of Lent with hearts open to God’s refining work. Let us seek His presence, extend His love, and live as people of hope, knowing that the dawn of Easter is near.
May the peace and grace of our Lord be with you in abundance.
“For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5
In Christ’s love,
Rev. Hyuntae Kim Ph.D.
