Jesus: He has Risen!
Apr 12th, 2009 by John
Their words seemed like nonsense.
The women were crazy and the Eleven knew it.
Not finding a body to bathe with spices.
Seeing two men in lightning clothes
Asking the women why they sought the living
among the dead.
Nonsense. Their words carried no meaning.
We need new categories for new creation.
Resurrection is new creation. The empty tomb
is a wardrobe into Narnia.
What looks like madness to the mind
Makes absolute sense to the eyes of faith.

Post Blackbird Song,
These events in Jesus’ life are too great for prose alone. Y’think?
John,
I want to thank you for this wonderful post.
I was unable to attend Easter service because of my health. So, it has been great getting to read peoples thoughts on the Risen Lord. Your words are very encouraging. Keep up the great work you do with your blog. You are an encouragement to many brother!
