Spring Sermon Series: “Living the Resurrection”
Sundays, April 7, 14, 21, 28, May 5, 12
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is history-changing and life-changing. So it is no wonder that the celebration of Easter is not just one day; it is a celebration that lasts 50 days. There is simply too much to take in on one Sunday morning.
So over these Sundays in the Easter season we will, beginning with the post-resurrection stories of Jesus, talk about what it means to “live the resurrection,” or “practice the resurrection.” For the resurrection of Jesus does not have to do exclusively with what happens after we die. But first of all it has to do with the way we live everyday life. While Jesus’ body has been, for now, returned to heaven, the body of Christ remains lived through Christians and the Church. We live out the presence of the Risen Jesus Christ in the details of the here and now.
