This is the last week in the Easter season (and almost the end of the week at that - sorry about that!). We’re still looking for signs of Resurrection. Let us know what you’ve found. Or let us know places you are hoping for Resurrection. The Gospel reading is from Luke 24: 44-53. Let us know if it sparks anything for you!
Then Jesus said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing God.
When I converted to Christianity on December 13, 1991 (28 years), I got busy thinking about doing (Works), proclaiming the gospel, when learning the Word was far more important for a new Christian. Presently, in our locked-in situation, I am learning to acknowledge the presence of the Lord and feeling a tinge closer to Him. The importance of discipleship for new Christians, ways to build relationships, a supportive community, Bible studies are all to be taken seriously.
