He is risen! For many of us, this must be a strange time to celebrate Easter. Some have called for us even to pause our Easter until churches can meet together and truly celebrate the victory that is the resurrection, extending Lent until we might emerge from our own metaphorical grave. I do understand this impulse. Nevertheless, I am more inclined to follow the wisdom of a certain young Maggie Brannon (3 years old), related to me in a text from Drew a little over a week ago,
“No one can stop our Easter!” — End of sermon!
Nothing can stop Easter. We must remember that Jesus’s resurrection does not occur when everything has first gotten better. Jesus’s resurrection comes when things seemed bleakest. The resurrection is an intervention into our darkest hour. When it appears that the darkness and violence around us has won, he is risen.
