Jesus - His Resurrection

The readings for this Sunday when we look at Jesus-His Resurrection are Acts 2:22–24; Psalm 16:7–11; 1 Corinthians 15:1–8; Mark 16:1–8 (readings for the 30th Sunday of the Year in the Revised Common Lectionary can be found here)

It is easy to get fixated on the important questions of bodily Resurrection,
as key as they are I think we miss something of the richness
if that is all we think about.
Key amongst the experiences of Christians
is not just exactly how Jesus is amongst us
but the reality of the shared experience
that where two or three are gathered
then Jesus seems to be present.
Indeed in the Eucharist we talk about Jesus
being really present.
Many of us would attest to feeling this
but it is also something that we hold by faith
that is, we believe it, and act upon it.
THIS WEEK
Pray to know Jesus, really present
trust the guidance of the Spirit
and listen to God's voice
