A few more thoughts on Easter
While sitting in church on Easter, soaking up the beauty of that day and that moment, I had a little tiny epiphany.
It occurred to me that we focus on the miracles of Jesus, and sometime imagine that we can re-create them (ie, faith healing). But... most of what he did were things that we can do without employing the supernatural.
He sought out the outcasts and spoke with them.
He confronted the powerful with their hypocrisy.
He led by example, and humbly.
He fed those who were hungry.
He encouraged those who were downcast.
He made breakfast for his friends.
He was not afraid to surprise people.
And there is much more, of course....
