Resurrection Sunday

Today is resurrection Sunday. We celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, the ultimate act of power over death and fulfillment of prophesy.  We’re pretty good at fulfilling prophesy too; turning away, denying Christ, worshiping idols.
Fortunately Easter doesn’t just mark Jesus’ resurrection but also the opening of the possibility for ours as well.  As I looked around today I saw a former criminal as a pillar of his community, a long time drug addict as a doting grandfather and a once angry wanderer as a man filled with joy and purpose.
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
