Easter is the greatest Christian celebration, but it is not always easy to find the right words to talk about it. The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the overwhelming expression of divine power and grace in all human history. Sermons, hymns, and liturgies are important and appropriate responses, and yet they only scratch the surface. So for me, the quiet reading of a resurrection Gospel and basic prayers of thanksgiving for God's redeeming work sometimes make the point as well as the largest and most elaborate services. The cross of Christ has been transformed and given new meaning. God's grace has overcome sin and death and offered us new life through Jesus Christ.
The Lord is risen! Christ is risen indeed! Thanks be to God. Alleluia!
