Easter is a wake up call –
to a beautiful day and a wonderful way of life. Christ is Risen… He is Risen
indeed.
You
can bury truth but it will always rise again. The truth of our faith – we come
from God and we go to God. Jesus found that too at Easter. Nothing not even
death could keep him from returning in Glory to God.
But
in between…that’s where we are now. And today is the new wake up call. Remember
waking up – to a big day. Graduation, ordination, wedding, holiday, falling in
love, your child’s birthday, going to a new school,– these are awakenings to a
new day.
Or to a bad day, a funeral, redundancy, illness. We know some day we will waken for the last time. The last time this side anyway.
Celebrating Easter –
wakening up to a big new world in and around us, and Easter really is every
day.
New
Friendship
Every day is a discovery of
the friendship of Jesus…always there, always new. To the call to partnership
with him in his saving work for the world. To joy in all times, even
bad.
We
look at Mary of Magdala after Jesus death as recounted in the gospel. All seemed
lost when she last went to sleep on a dark night. Now all is new because of
Jesus. Her life has changed; his wakening after death means we can all wake up
now – to love, call, joy.
The
world can be new – He is Risen.
