Expect the Unexpected

I’m writing this entry on Easter Sunday, a special time of celebration and joy for millions of Christians around the world. The message of this day is one of grace, inexplicable grace! What began as a dark time of suffering and death on Friday gives way to life and hope only three days later. Resurrection is the unexpected gift that breaks forth on Easter morning.

My message for leaders on this day is simple – expect the unexpected. If you are willing to surrender your life, your business, and your role as a leader to the God of resurrection power, then unexpected things will come your way. I don’t know what they might be, but they will come. Like the women who were surprised to find an empty tomb, you may be astonished at the things you will find.

“Don’t be afraid.” These are the words spoken to those who witnessed the most amazing event in all of human history. They still carry weight and substance. Leaders need to hear and believe these words today. Receive the grace; share the joy; live as though you are expecting the unexpected!
