“He is risen!”—the Church shouts with confidence—“He is risen indeed!”
The high point of our Christian life is celebrated this morning as we gather with all
of God’s children to rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. As
today’s Gospel from Luke 24 will show us, confusion and fear give way to
confident faith when the women who went to the tomb realize Jesus is alive and
then share this good news with the other disciples. Through those disciples, this
message has reached us also!
