HE IS RISEN!
We have navigated the emotional ups and downs of Holy Week – the celebrations of Palm Sunday, the despair of Good Friday and today the joy of the resurrection. Today, we remember and attempt to understand what Jesus did for us. We have come face to face with all the good and the ugly in order to understand what Jesus truly did for us.
Yes, salvation came at a cost that I would probably have been unwilling to accept if I had been asked. I wasn’t asked. Grace was given and the price was paid. Today we join Mary in her grief at the tomb with our own personal thoughts and we hear the call of the resurrected Jesus. “There is more! I am going to my Father and your Father, my God and your God”(emphasis mine). The relationship that Jesus had with his Father and God is now our relationship; any distinction or gap between God and us has been removed.
HE IS RISEN! And all respond HE IS RISEN, INDEED!
Prayers, Linda
