Sunday Reflection: On Easter
Easter is about amazement.
The women who come to the tomb are amazed he is not there.
The Eleven disciples (Judas was gone) were amazed to hear from the women what they had found, and what they had been told.
When they realized who they had been traveling with, the two men who were walking to Emmaus are amazed.
And the disciples are amazed when Jesus returns to them.
Amazement is a feeling that we feel too rarely; we (well, me) are too jaded to be amazed by anything. But that is only because our (well, my) eyes are not open, nor our hearts. But this is a day that inspires us to change that, to give up our pretend mastery of the world and be amazed.
