Welcome to the season of Easter! Easter Sunday is just the start of our celebration of God’s defeat of death in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The good news we have received could hardly be contained in a single day of worship. For the next seven weeks leading to Pentecost we will rejoice in the divine’s victory over every aspect of our mortal limitations.
Advent is a season of expectation when we prepare for the arrival of the Son of God into our midst. Lent is a season of penitence when we seek to journey with Jesus as he makes his way to the cross. But what are we called to do in the season of Easter?
In the season of Easter we are called to live as resurrection people. We are called to live into the promise that God has indeed defeated sin and death. We are called to trust that God’s love is indeed so powerful that everything and everyone that has been broken, is broken, or ever will be broken, is redeemed, restored, and made whole. We are called to live knowing that this love is offered to us every day and to reflect that love to all those around us every day. We are called to passionately praise the one who creates, redeems, and sustains us on each new day.
Happy Easter, everyone! Let the celebration continue!
