Square Dancing and the Resurrection

4/20/2016

0 Comments

 
One of my favorite Young Life clubs every year in Frisco is our annual hoedown club. We weren’t sure how the weather would go this past Monday (hoedown club is usually outside) but we still had a great club inside nonetheless. So we did what anybody would normally do on a Monday night in Frisco: packed our high school friends into Providence Church and paired guys and girls up for a square dance. It probably sounds strange to invite high school kids to a square dance – not for us! One of the best things about this club is that we get an opportunity to say to kids “trust us”, and they do. I love that about Young Life. As leaders, we have an opportunity to lead kids in things that may not sound like something that they would normally have fun doing and at the same time lead them to Jesus by communicating the Gospel to them.
 
I was excited to give the club talk this past Monday, more than any club talk I’ve ever given. Talking about the resurrection with kids is kind of hard; it seems unreal and hard to believe. I think what makes the resurrection so powerful is that there isn’t another account like it for any other belief system. No religious figure has ever died and risen from his death; Jesus is so singular, so other, there’s not a category for what he did. But his accomplishment defeated death for me and for my high school friends and also loosed the power of sin in our lives. Jesus paid our penalty and then put an end to us needing to ever pay that penalty for future sin. If square dancing is what opens the door for me to communicate this truth, I’d do it every week.
