EASTER VIGIL/SUNDAY April 3-4, 2010


On a journey, maybe we've had an eye-opening experience of something -- a different culture, landscape or even a realization -- where we say, "I'll never forget this," or "Things will never be the same." On our Christian journey, today we are reminded that the rising of Christ is that experience, not to be forgotten, and that because of the resurrection, things will never be the same.

We still have war, we still have suffering and death, we still have sin. But the New Testament accounts show how those who experienced the resurrection became empowered and transformed to deal with all sorts of sufferings and persecutions and unrest.

Jesus is risen, he lives! This makes all the difference.
