Often our portrayals of that first Resurrection Sunday (Easter as it is known around the world now) are so narrow that we miss the bigger picture that is unfolding.
As I have mentioned for the last several years, in the lectionary (a systematic reading plan of the Bible) Easter is a season of several weeks, not a single day.
That being said, we have a very special Sunday planned for Lafayette this Sunday, complete with a couple of surprises. After all, the original resurrection Sunday was all about surprises!
And, of course, not a surprise, we will have Table and Word!
So to prepare your heart for our gathering, I want to encourage you to read the texts that will be the foundation of our time together.
  • Psalm 148
  • John 20:1-29
  • Luke 24:13-35
  • Colossians 3:1-4
  • Psalm 118:22-24
This may be the most “Eastery” Easter ever. I cannot think of a more appropriate way for us to remember and celebrate the resurrection than the setting in which we will gather this year for Easter Sunday, in fact, my sermon is entitled, Revisiting That First Resurrection Sunday.
 
I look forward to sharing this special time with you Sunday.
