He Lives and We Live!
A reading for Tuesday, March 29, 2016: Genesis 22:1-19.
In Genesis 22, father and son, Isaac and Abraham made the journey toward death together. Abraham knew what would happen, Isaac did not. "The Lord will provide." Faith would be tested. In the end, Isaac was saved by God's mercy and continued to live...
It's the original Easter story. Jesus made the journey toward death with God the Father. Pope Francis tweeted today: "Jesus shows us the real face of God, for whom power does not mean destruction but love, and for whom justice is not vengeance but mercy." In resurrection, Jesus continued to live...
In the Genesis story Abraham and Isaac returned to their people and their town to live different lives, newly ordained and blessed by God. Our Risen Jesus continues even now to live throughout all of creation as "The Lord (who does) provide." The whole world is different because he lives...
This is the power of Easter. We too are invited to live different lives, newly ordained and blessed by God through the power of Jesus Christ. He lives and we live!
Thank you Father and Son!
