Wednesday, First Week of Easter

They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day.”
Luke 24:5-7

The message of the angels is clear: Jesus is “the living one.”

Jesus didn’t come to have a deadening effect upon the world, or upon anything. He came to bring life – God’s life. This life isn’t something that switches on after we die. It pulses within us now. Paul put it clearly.”

If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. (Rom 8:11)

The Christian way of life has its challenges, but it is never meant to be dull, listless, blank, stale, flat.

That’s something worth remembering, especially on a bad day.

God’s life – God’s own life – is pulsing within me.

Now. This very moment.


Spend some quiet time with the Risen Lord.
