1. Just as the grave could not hold the Lord of Life, neither could the calendar contain Easter to just one Sunday.
  2. Resurrection life is not something cast into the future. The future is now.
  3. Preachers are called to consider how the resurrection reverberates in the present but also the future.
  4. In the next three weeks, Saint John will explore some of the implications of the resurrection, especially for Christians as they consider how to live in the present and what is in store for us in the future.
  5. In the resurrection Jesus transcended time, space, and death; those things which limit human existence. So, the stone was not rolled away for Jesus, but for the disciples and for us.

  11. We were enemies, but because of the self-sacrificing love of Christ, we are made friends, indeed, even the adopted children of our Heavenly Father.
