Resurrection: April 2011 Archives
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
Proclaim it from the pulpit!
Post it on church signs!
Sing it in the choirs!
Write it in the newsletter!
Declare it on the blogs!
But what does "He is risen" mean to you?
Do you believe a traditional story of the crucifixion and resurrection? Was it a resurrection of the body? Resurrection into a new body? A spiritual resurrection? A metaphoric resurrection? A group hallucination?
And what is the point of the resurrection?
Does it give us eternal life? Show Jesus' triumph over death? Illustrate how the Jesus movement goes on?
Does it matter that we don't all agree on what happened and what it means?
These are questions I'm pondering this Easter morning.
