Scoping things out? Fantastic.
He Is Risen by Brian Whelan
Last Sunday’s Conversation:
April 20, 2025 — Easter Sunday — John 20:1-18
Thank goodness for Mary Magdalene, the first witness and proclaimer of Jesus’ resurrection. But Mary was not only the first witness of the resurrection, she was the first to participate in the resurrection. She was desperate and devoted to see justice, mercy, tenderness, and goodness resurrected.
Thank goodness for Mary, giving us space to witness, to participate, and to be desperate and devoted to see resurrection in our own lives.
Thomas by Corinne Vonaesch
Coming up this Sunday:
April 27, 2025 — Easter (2) — John 20:19-31
If the resurrection of Jesus is something to witness and also to participate in, what is the purpose of participating in the work of resurrection?
The author of the Gospel of John tells their story about the life and ministry of Jesus, then proceeds to state towards the end the purpose of their writing:
“So that you may have life.”
What might that mean today? What does participating in the work of resurrection mean in 2025? How might our participation in the work of resurrection lead us to “have life"?
