We are a Resurrection people, and Alleluia is our song.
- Are you singing?
- How do you greet the day?
- How are you a bearer of God’s amazing grace throughout the day?
- How do you end the day well?
What might it mean for us to live as if:
- each breath,
- each choice we make,
- and, every encounter is infused with the Spirit?
- washing the dishes,
- making our to-do lists,
- caring for our homes,
- living in our neighbourhoods,
- raising our children,
- interacting with our school and work colleagues,
- our involvement with your barista, the grocery store attendant, or that cashier at Home Depot?
As we consciously put on the mind of Christ and open our hearts to God’s presence and love, what might we notice?
If we saw creation as a vital part of how God speaks and our bodies as temples of the Spirit, how might we treat them?
Are we extending to others what we have and are receiving of God’s goodness and generosity?
On Easter Sunday, John 21 reminds us that the resurrected Jesus appears to his disciples. Resurrection is revealed in the simplest of everyday actions.
- Going fishing.
- Eating breakfast.
- Being with each other in grief and gathering with joy.
The Easter mystery of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection invites us to renewed being and life. God’s calling on our lives and our response is an ongoing process. Jesus' presence is never far, offering communion, forgiveness, and encouragement. We can never grasp the fullness of God’s love and mercy; we can only live in awe. and gratitude. and boldness of faith.
