We made it to Easter! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!!
What does this mean to us really? This is a central piece of our Christian faith, but really and truly, what difference does resurrection make? We have been thinking about the wholehearted Jesus all throughout Lent; how Jesus was one of us as a human being and lived human life with compassion, courage and integrity. Jesus died the same way. But what now? We are called to follow Jesus, but can we too be made whole? Can the fragments of our lives that are broken or don’t make sense to us now be brought together and made into something new and beautiful and hopeful? Can tired, burnt out, cynical people (AND churches!) experience resurrection? And what might that look like?
