Happy Easter to all! Susan Scott preaches on the resurrection, of course, this Easter. God works a lot like springtime, making things that appear dead become suddenly renewed. With that in mind, what is Jesus when he comes back from the dead? He is embodied with scars, yet Mary mistakes him for a gardener until he speaks. Later he walks through a locked door later. Jesus’s followers first had a hard time accepting that he was supposed to die at all since they expected him to usher in an end to Roman occupation, and thus had a hard time comprehending what his resurrection portended So what does the resurrection tell us? Jesus’s resurrection foreshadows what will eventually happen to us, gives us hope in the face of our own mortality, and reframes our understanding of earthly suffering. Death cannot silence the power of God’s love to manifest within us. In life, we receive hope in the fact that the good works we are called to do are all part of God’s greater plan of redemption, and not done in vain. Join Susan Scott as she explores what we can learn from the resurrection of Christ.
