Easter is a call to light.  As we emerge from the nothingness of Good Friday, the day on which darkness overwhelmed even the creator himself, we come to Easter Sunday, the day on which the creator overwhelmed even light itself.  In the sunrise of Easter, we see light as it was most meant to be:  the total and absolute witness of God's power over and love for what he made.

"Resurrection" by El Greco

     In the absolute darkness and nothingness of Jesus' death, the Son of God abandoned by his Father, the greatest of all light arose.  It is a light that eclipses and encompasses all others, a light that changed history, bent space, and permanently altered all our notions of meaning and time.  It is the resurrection.
     The resurrection is the greatest of light because it brought, from the fiercest and vilest nothingness of all deaths, a life that will never end.  It's nonsensical, its unbelievable, it's unfathomable, but it is entirely true.
The resurrection tells us that life has meaning, meaning that exceeds our greatest imagination.  It tells us that though we die, we will live again, forever.
     How can life ever be the same?
     
     By the way, I'll be traveling for the next week and will not be posting for a bit.  Enjoy your week--and thanks for reading!
