The Better Farewell: Flickering Wicks & an Empty Tomb

"He will not break a bruised reed, and He will not put out a smoldering wick..." (Isaiah 42:3a)

Part 23 of 'The Better Farewell' brings us to the morning of the empty tomb. And what does Jesus do? Whom does He seek to speak with first?

A woman under such compounding grief, that she sees the empty tomb and cannot register what it means.

A man so given to disillusionment, he makes a vow to never believe again—unless his terms and conditions are met.

Before Jesus would give the Great Commission, He found the flickering wicks. And all He had to do was say their names; all they had to do was hear His voice, and see Him standing beside them—alive. Consider the gentle hand of the slaughtered Lamb, who so graciously prioritized those weak in heart and spirit. And we haven't even gotten to breakfast in the Galilee yet.

As with all episodes of #TheBetterBeautiful, we pray this presses you into the beauty of Jesus and His "wonderful" Name. We have one episode left in Season 2, and hope you'll join us next week as we conclude our journey through the Farewell Discourse (spoiler alert: we announce Season 3 in this episode).

DURATION: 58 minutes
