We will be reading accounts of the Resurrection all week, as if it were still Easter Sunday. The impact of the Resurrection is so extensive, so mighty, that it cannot be limited to one day. Jesus rose bodily from the tomb, never more to die, far beyond the restoration to life of the widow of Nain's son, or his friend, Lazarus. They came back to life, but eventually died. Not so, Jesus, and not so us who have been baptized into his death and Resurrection. The ultimate play-out of this scenario is our own bodily reunion with our souls and an eternity of life with God. Really, all beyond our comprehension. We join with the Apostles and disciples who struggled to accept this unique experience. It took awhile to sink in for them, it takes a lifetime to sink in for us. That;s why this week is set aside to examine it, ponder it, and appreciate it.
