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.

Our identity is not what we do, but how we work. Take those things away. Who are we? And the gospel for this Sunday. Martha is identifying with her work. Her work is good, but her identity is not her work. Her identity…

Neville Longbottom and King David
Okay, everyone, hot take: Neville Longbottom is the real hero of the Harry Potter series. Looking at him from the outside, it doesn’t look like he should be in Gryffindor, nor doesn’t look like he has anything to offer. But if you read the whole series, you realize within the heart of Neville is a pure heart that is courageous and full of self-sacrificial…

The Ultimate Life Hack
Did Jesus tell us to cheat the system? Did he instruct us to falsify our tax returns? Did he give us financial advice like the mafia would? In the gospel for this Sunday. Jesus, of course, is not advocating fraud. But what Jesus is saying is that this dishonest steward was hustling, striving, putting in all this effort to make all this money.
