So, the greatest victory I have ever witnessed in my entire life happened at 11:47PM on November 2nd, 2016. That’s right, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Greatest victory ever! But the crazy thing is, that is nothing compared to what we celebrate today: victory over death. We celebrate today, Easter Sunday, the resurrection, where Jesus Christ is victorious over death. The reality is this: Jesus Christ said that he was God. Jesus Christ proved that he was God and rose from the dead. And he has promised eternal life for all of us. On this Easter Sunday, I have the easiest question that you will ever be asked in your entire life. Will you say yes?
This is Spirit Juice. Happy Easter! God bless all of you; you’re in my prayers. Peace.

This is precisely what the apostles do in the gospel for this Sunday. Jesus told the…

What Makes Us Fully Alive
If it has been less than a week since you’ve binge-watched movies or TV shows, raise your hand. Now raise your hand if, afterward, you felt absolutely alive. When we binge-watch TV and movies, we feel less alive. In the Gospel today, Jesus says, “Come to me all who labor and are burdened, “and I will give you rest.” We’re called to go to the Lord…

Just Like A Good Goalie
Hugo Lloris is a fantastic goalie on the Tottenham Hotspurs soccer team in English soccer, or if you’re in England, football. Hugo Lloris said this about being a goalie. “It’s not just about the talent. “It’s being in the right place at the right time.” So Jesus in the gospel is saying, “Stay awake. “Be alert.
