John 24: 13-18 & 28-31
As Christians, Lent often causes us to believe that all we have to do is get to Easter and everything will be all right. If we just make it to Easter, to the resurrection, that’s all we need for things to get better. But that wasn't the reality for the early Christians, and in a current-COVID 2020, it's not a reality for us either.
Immediately after the resurrection there's a confusion Emmaus road to walk and it's on this road we realize:
Resurrection does not always bring revitalization
Resurrection does not bring reconnection
Resurrection doesn’t always bring revelation
But the resurrection does bring us an opportunity for us to reframe our present and our future.
