I know I am jumping the gun.
But, that is one of the hazards of my job.
Moving through Holy Week at the same time needing to think about and to get ready for Easter. As I try to find my way, here is what I found myself thinking about this morning.
What came first?
The resurrection?
Or, the stone being rolled away?
I think we often assume the resurrection came first.
Jesus ready when the stone is miraculously pushed back.
But, what if that not the case.
What if Jesus remains dead until that stone is removed?
If that is true, then what about today…
In Aleppo…
In Parkland…
In Paris…
In Seattle…
Next door…
Is Jesus still dead?
If so, who will roll away the stone?
