While Easter Sunday has passed us by, the whole month of May is a part of the Eastertide season. The 50 days of Eastertide reminds that Easter isn’t just one day of the year, but our entire reality. Every day God calls us to live our lives in and with Christ. The tomb is empty, and it stays empty forever. God has the last word over empire—Rome was defeated, and any power that opposes and defies God is defeated too. Because Jesus lives, we also live—fully, freely, and
forever.
Paul writes in Romans 6:4, “Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” All of creation testifies to the power of God’s new life—not just in the life to come, but here and now. Even when we experience death and loss, we remember that God’s final word is life.
We are people of the Resurrection—marked by God’s grace and called to share God’s love with everyone.
Christ is risen—he is risen indeed! Alleluia!
With Easter joy,
Pr Jenna
