Easter 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 this 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 proclaim 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!

So I close this reflection with the words
from the Chorus of a very familiar and beloved hymn,
as a prayer for me, for you and the world.

"Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be."
