Not just an event of history centuries ago, but an encounter we have anew today. Christ continues to offer us His new Life, transforming us so that we can live as witnesses testifying to His life in us.
At first, we, like those first disciples, may not be able to make sense of the empty tomb, since emptiness is often a sign of something lacking. Yet we realize it is the new reality of God at work in our world because this emptiness is a sign that God has reversed the curse of sin and works His power of redemption in our world.
Now, we turn away from what is earthly, and we focus our gaze upwards because Christ has made possible the path to His Heavenly Presence.
And His Living Presence continues to abide with us so we can bring this joyful reality to change the world.
