Resurrection Life Ponderings

“Jesus’s resurrection is the beginning of God’s new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven
but to colonize earth with the life of heaven.
That, after all, is what the Lord’s Prayer is about.”
— N.T. Wright

Before we gathered around the Communion Table
on Easter Sunday, we sang these words
from the second verse of
"Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ"
"Christ is able to make us one.
At the table he sets the tone,
teaching people to live to bless,
love in word and in deed express."

On Easter we proclaimed loudly and joyfully that,
"Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen, Indeed!"

2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us this,
" Therefore if anyone is in Christ,
this person is a new creation;
the old things passed away;
behold, new things have come."

-- May we allow that resurrection life to rise up in us,
to fill our lives and guide them daily
as we accept and embrace both the joys and challenges
of being the disciples of
the Anointed and Risen One of God.
May we do more than talk the talk,
may we truly walk the walk!

May resurrection life broaden our vision.
Too often our vision is narrow
and we cannot see the whole
​beyond our own corner of the world,
circumstances or perspectives.
This April, the astronauts were granted
the opportunity and perspective to see the earth
not as divided by political and religious ideologies, countries, nations and states divided by borders,
but as a whole. 
This new inspiration and perspective
of encountering the whole, it reminded them
and they reminded us,
that we are not just individuals, or nations,
or defined by ideologies or boundaries,
but part of a collective whole.  We are in this together.  
In seeing the whole, it gave them hope for the future.
As we embrace the hope God has offered to us
may we carry that hope
whenever, to wherever and however God calls us.

God of all creation expand our vision
and that of world leaders from small and limited
to the vastness of your vision.
Reveal to us how and grant us the courage and strength
to be guided guided by Divine wisdom so that
we become vessels through whom earth is colonized
with the blessings of heaven.  Amen!
