Rediscovering Easter: the transformative power of resurrection
Post
|April 16, 2025
Like them, we find ourselves saying: we too had hoped that he would give us all the answers to our problems. Instead, there he is hanging on a cross — dead — having achieved none of the things we had hoped he would.
HOW things change. At one time Easter meant an extra long weekend with lots of church services, but also an exciting soccer tournament!
Then, more serious issues took centre stage from these different perspectives:a) Faith — the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.
b) Community — how these three key events affect us as Christians.
c) Personal - where I find myself faith-wise.
Where do I stand today?
a) Religious: the central events of Holy Week - the passion, death and resurrection — are a measuring rod for evaluating our lives against an outside standard.
b) Community: the community aspect is key, as it ensures I learn from others even as I share my experiences with them.
c) Personal: this aspect is the most challenging, as it takes me onto a trajectory similar to that of Jesus’ disciples.
