In Season 4, Episode 62 of Echoes Through Eternity, Dr. Skinner delves into the profound spiritual journey from the despair of Good Friday to the jubilant revelation of Easter Sunday, illustrating the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ over death and the promise of eternal life for all who believe.

The episode, titled "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night!" captures the palpable shift from the gloom that enveloped the disciples and followers of Jesus after His crucifixion to the awe-inspiring moment of His resurrection.The narrative begins in the shadows of Friday's events—Judas's tragic end, the scattering of the disciples, and the deceptive silence of those who sought Jesus's death, juxtaposed against the backdrop of Rome's indifferent rule.

Yet, even in this darkness, the earth itself rebels, as if nature itself mourns the injustice inflicted upon the Son of God, and the temple veil is torn, signaling a direct, unobstructed access to the divine.Dr. Skinner vividly recounts the eerie silence that follows the storm, a silence that seems to hold the weight of the world's grief. But then, the dawn of Sunday brings a miraculous revelation: the tomb is empty, and Jesus has risen. This moment of recognition between Mary Magdalene and the risen Christ is a tender testament to the personal relationship Jesus offers to each of us.

The episode emphasizes the transformation that occurs within the disciples and all who hear of Jesus's resurrection. From fear and despair, there emerges a renewed faith and purpose, fueled by the undeniable truth of Jesus's victory over death. This resurrection is not just an event but a call to all believers to live out the teachings of Christ with fervor and conviction, spreading the good news of His love and salvation.

Dr. Skinner connects this biblical narrative to the broader theme of overcoming darkness with light, of hope triumphing over despair. Through the lens of Wesleyan theology, he explores the implications of Jesus's resurrection for personal faith, community revival, and global transformation.
The episode concludes with a powerful reminder of the ongoing echo of Jesus's victory through the lives of believers, a chorus of faith that joins the heavenly declaration, "He is Risen Indeed!"

This installment of Echoes Through Eternity not only recounts the Easter story but also invites listeners to reflect on their own journey with Christ. It challenges each one to not go gentle into the good night of complacency or despair but to embrace the light of Christ's resurrection, living out the hope and love that it signifies.

Author Speaker and Encourager

Columbus Cody III. is a devoted Christian, a husband, a father, a teacher, the creator of The Living The Life Show on YouTube, and the author of Recap and Too Many Toys In The Tub.I was born in Chicago, Illinois but I had the opportunity to grow up in numerous places throughout the United States (Mississippi, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Tennessee). Living in so many places exposed me to many different cultures which made me a much more well-rounded person with a genuine love for people.I joined the US Navy immediately after graduating high school. My military service helped to mold and shape me into a man of discipline and honor. After being honorably discharged I earned a Bachelors degree in Health and Physical Education from Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee. After graduation, I began teaching Physical Education and Lifetime Wellness and coaching Girls Basketball and Volleyball (one of the reasons I have no hair) in the Metro Nashville Public School District. For the past 15 years I’ve continued to strive to engage the minds of the young people that enter my classroom each day. Some days I feel more successful than others.My greatest joys are spending time with my family and serving in my church. I have two sons and a wonderful wife. I have the opportunity to teach Sunday School at my church each Sunday and this is one of my greatest passions! I love God and I love teaching the people of God about the things of God.I have written and published two books. My first book, Recap, is a book that was written to help others experience the same excitement that I have for the Bible. Many people won’t read or stop reading the Bible because they say that it’s too difficult. The reason I wrote Recap is to show my readers just how interesting and fun the Bible really is. My second book, Too Many Toys In The Tub, was inspired by my two fun loving sons. Every night, bath time becomes an adventure. I never know which toy(s) will make an appearance and become part of the next adventure. This book makes my boys smile and laugh. I’m certain it will be a hit in many homes that are experiencing the same bath time adventures.My desire is to talk to as many people as possible about Jesus and His saving grace. God has given me a gift to teach His Words in such a way that they make sense to others and they can see how they can apply His Words to their daily lives. I intend to use that gift to lead as many people to Christ as possible.
