No matter your theological stripe nor persuasion can dissuade us from the celebration of the Lord's Resurrection. Today is the day that the mortal blow was dealt to the enemy known as death, so that one day, the saying could come to pass, that death was swallowed up in victory. Christ, the Lord, is risen today.
Luke 24:1-8 NRSV.
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” Then they remembered his words.
