Easter (324)
  1. God’s telling a joke. And after we’re done laughing at this silly divinity, we realize that the true joke is on us.
  2. This is the night from when all those nights receive their light. For this is the night when Christ, the Life arose from the dead.
  3. The story of Christ crucified has a happy ending. Jesus has conquered the grave. He beat the death rap.
  4. Like her Lord, the Church has dirt under her nails, the smell of coffin wood on her clothes, and a hunger in her belly.
  5. Should we consider the tomb of Jesus completely empty, or just somewhat empty?
  6. “Why do you seek the living One among the dead?” the angel asked the two women. The time for Jesus to die has passed.
  7. I was walking through a mall recently, and all the spring decorations and colors were starting to appear. It was refreshing to see the fresh colors and a change of scenery as I strolled through the mall.
  8. The Lord has a special place in his heart for those whom the world forgets. For the anonymous. For the rejected.
  9. In reality, Easter equals good news for you. And our world needs some good news. Maybe we’re not even sure what’s wrong, but we know this world is broken.
  10. In the pageant of Easter Week, Maundy Thursday speaks about the last time Jesus ate with his Disciples and how He washed their feet in preparation for participating in the Passover meal (John 13).
  11. What we confess concerning a corpse confesses much about how deep, or how shallow, is our understanding of the importance of the incarnation of Jesus, his death, and his (as well as our own) resurrection.
  12. This is the night when the earth is formless and void; and the darkness of blood is over the face of Thy Son. And the Spirit of God moves out of His body as He gives up the Ghost.
