Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!
With these words we begin the celebration of the Season of Easter - rejoicing in the good news that Christ has been raised from the dead.
This means many things - that while death is real it is not final; that God had resoundingly approved the way and teachings of Jesus, with their emphasis on peace, justice, and love; and that God has begun the re-creation of this broken world. It also means that we have an ongoing relationship with God through Christ, and that we are called to be in relationships with each other and with our neighbors - all parts of the great Good News of Easter!
