Do You Get It?

We are at the greatest holiday in Christendom this morning: Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day!  The importance of what we celebrate couldn’t be overstated!  N.T. Wright sees Easter as not simply a grand story, but a clash between two dominant ideas—a world run by God and a world determined to run God out.  As Wright says,

“What is at stake is the clash between a worldview that allows for a God of creation and justice and worldviews that don’t.”  

With the empty tomb of Jesus, the Christian faith says that there is a hope beyond anything our reason, our research or our political events could possibly promise.  The resurrection tells us of a world that will one day be renewed and restored and a life that lives within that world that never sees death again.  

The question God would ask us is simply this: “Do you get it?”
