The Call of Easter

4/17/2017

1 Comment

 
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like the world keeps getting crazier. It seems to be dying, and it’s not a peaceful process. We try to tune it out or look away. We feel the temptation to withdraw, to shrink the scope of our concern to what we can control, to inhabit smaller and smaller worlds until we feel some sense of safety.

But this is not the way of the Cross; it is not the way of resurrection. The Cross transforms suffering, not by keeping it at a distance, but by Christ taking the world’s suffering upon Himself. On the Cross we see Jesus’s body broken and blood spilled. On the Cross we see what God’s presence in the world looks like. 

​If we take the Cross at face value, it doesn’t look like good news. It looks like failure. It looks like death. But through eyes of faith, we see God at work redeeming the world.
​
So this is the call of Easter, the invitation to which we must now respond: Come and die, that you might truly live.
