Text: Luke 24:13-35
We are so familiar with this story that we feel free not to listen to it. Blah blah blah … Road to Emmaus … Scripture … Eucharistic meal … Resurrection … blah blah blah. We know the conclusion before we even start. This is the season of Easter, so it is bound to be about the appearance of the risen Christ. An event to which the Gospels devote much less ink than they do to the passion. The creed which we will recite later allots only a single line to it: On the third day he rose again, in accordance with the scriptures. This curt treatment cannot be because it is not central—for it is—but rather because it is so central that it is old hat. It goes without saying. So when we hear this story in Luke, we tend to leap to its conclusion without spending time in the middle.

Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14
Other texts: John 11:1-45
Hooray. A warm sunny day. Spring finally has forced its way to the front, pushing winter to the back of the line. The crocuses’ prematurity has been vindicated. We can breath again. A fitting day for texts whose theme is clearly resurrection and rebirth.

Text: Matthew 28:1-10
This is not a day of sweet contentment. This is not the day that resolves Holy Week’s mysteries. This is not the explanation. It is instead a day of disruption. Of new mysteries made.

We hope to be a place where people can be nourished in the spirit, to discover and learn to know God, and to nurture gratitude, through worship, prayer, intellectual exchange, fellowship, and service to others. To serve those in need in the local community and elsewhere in the world. To help people in their search for ethical living.

There is a lot of hoopla today, in a seriously religious kind of way. And it will continue throughout this week until next Sunday, Easter Sunday. This is the central moment in the church year, far outweighing Christmas, and we rightly make a big deal of it.
