THE EASTER SEASON

It all broke apart during Holy Week. Cruelty, betrayal, suffering, injustice scattered the Jesus Movement. But precisely at the moment when evil seemed to triumph, the goodness of God burst out from the tomb. 


Wonderful. So ... what do we do now? 


That is the central question of the Easter Season: Now what? This is the time when broken pieces are put back together into something called the Church. It’s a time for both exultant rejoicing and deep questioning. Who are we on the other side of Resurrection? What is our work? How shall we be the Body of the Risen Christ for the world? Who is our neighbor, and how shall we join with them?


The days after Jesus rose again must have been a time when the disciples felt like they were putting together a puzzle without a picture, or a Lego set without instructions. The first thing to do: gather back those broken pieces, and see how they can fit together. 


They started trying to remember really hard what Jesus had said and taught and done. They tried to pay attention to what he was saying and doing when he mysteriously appeared to them now, out of nowhere. And they took a fresh look at their own most ancient scriptures, to see what new meaning now emerged from the old and familiar. They took these broken pieces, and saw how they might all fit back together again.
