Full of Questions

 

Full of questions. Full of incredulity, shock, amazement: unable to reconcile ‘today’ with ‘yesterday’. How did we get here?

The two disciples trudged wearily away from the site of the cross, headed home, barely aware of the stranger who joined them on their journey. So absorbed were they in the sorrow and vicious brutality of the last few days, they were amazed that anyone could have missed what was going on.

Yet it was Jesus who joined them, the risen Lord, teasing their fears and griefs out of them as he opened the truth to them.

Lord, as we trudge today away from calvary, may our hearts burn inside us as we tune our inner ears to hear your voice. May we be as quick as the disciples were to share the good news: He is risen indeed!

Never mind the state of the world or the nation or our own family circumstances, his resurrection takes our vision beyond the pain and suffering to a new landscape of hope, beauty, peace and love, a harmonious place where we will one day live in joyful communion and relationship with God himself.

He is risen indeed. Hallelujah!
