Priestly Ponderings Easter was early this year, so by the time you read this, Easter will have come and gone. During the weeks of April we will be reading Acts of the Apostles and learn- ing about all their activities. We can only imagine how terrible the disciples must have felt and how scared, having watched the death of the person who had given them so much love, support and guidance. How shocked they were to find that Jesus was no longer in the grave. All that he had told them had come true - but how could they understand this? It would have been easy for them to dwell only on the cross and the death of Christ. But the most important aspect of the events for them and for us is Christ’s Resurrection. He is risen indeed, Alleluia! So what is significant about the resurrection? When Jesus died for us, he took on our sins. For a moment he was in despair, he cried, ‘my God my God why have you forsaken me?’ before he died. Then 3 days later he rose, and we are reminded of this in the words we use in the Nicene Creed.
‘On the third day he rose again according to the scriptures’.
The death and resurrection of Jesus are the most important events in Christian The- ology. They form the point in scripture where Jesus gives his ultimate demonstra- tion that he has power over life and death, and therefore he has the ability to grant people eternal life The teachings of the apostle Paul formed a key element of the Christian tradition and theology. If Christ’s death stands at the centre of Paul's theology, so does the resurrection: unless the one died the death of all, the all would have little to cele- brate in the resurrection of the one. Paul ( Romans 1:4)taught that, just as Chris- tians share in Jesus' death in baptism, so they will share in his resurrection, for Jesus was designated the Son of God by his resurrection. It is hard for some people to believe this but Christ really has been raised from the dead. He is the first of all those who will rise. Death came because of what a man did. Rising from the dead also comes because of what a man did. Because of Adam, all people die. So because of Christ, all will be made alive (1 Corinthians 15:20–22). And what about those appearances? Earlier in chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians, Paul says that Jesus appeared to Peter, to the twelve, and to 500 men and women at the same time! Can you imagine that 500 people would all get together to lie about Jesus’ appearance? Can you imagine that these people would be willing to suffer and die for such a lie? Because, being put to death for belief was the danger of the time. It is important for us to reflect on this for our future, as it is vital for our faith. We can know through Christ’s sacrifice, not only do we share in Jesus’ death in baptism but we will share in his resurrection. For Jesus was chosen to be the Son of God by his resurrection. And all this gives us hope for our future and for the future of the people we love and lose. This truth is the bedrock of the Christian faith. Without it, there would be no New Testament, no church, no Christianity. Whether you find it difficult to believe in the resurrection or not, it makes no differ- ence concerning the facts. However, it makes all the difference concerning your destiny. Your belief cannot alter the facts, but it can alter your destiny. Every Blessing
