Easter
-
In Mary, we have the epitome of presence, of apprehension and participation. And a vision for what the resurrection means.
-
In the empty tomb, we have an image that reveals both fearful skepticism and hopeful resolve that God’s grace overcomes death.
-
In her response to the empty tomb, Mary demonstrates the human response of grief blindness. But Jesus wakes her up with his voice.
-
As people of the resurrection, we can both love the concept and also refuse to accept that it has anything to do with our lives.
-
In moving from Passion to Resurrection, we are offered a chance to see God anew. But are we keeping our eyes focused on our purpose?
-
The lectionary goes straight from Easter 1 to 2. But the story of Jesus’s appearance in the locked room is missing something.
