J. R. R. Tolkien once coined the word eucatastrophe. It literally means a “good catastrophe” — the sudden happy turn in a story that pierces you with a joy that brings tears.
Joseph’s father, Jacob, had no choice but to send his sons back to Egypt for food. As they left, he had no idea what would happen to them, how things would turn out, or if he would ever see them again. But one day, they return. And not only do they return, but they bring with them news, such good news he couldn’t even believe it.
Joseph, the son he thought was dead, was still alive - a eucatastrophe for the ages!
But this eucatastrophe was only a foreshadowing of the greatest eucatastrophe the world has ever known. When all seemed lost, when all hope had faded, news broke into the world that would change it forever - Jesus is alive! It’s a message so good we still find it hard to believe. But it’s true. All of it.
See you tomorrow at 10am for Easter Sunday!
