Resurrection for All

from Rev. Dr. Mark Sandlin:

Resurrection is what happens every time love refuses to stay buried, every time hope rises up out of places everyone else has given up on, every time a community comes back together after being torn apart, every time justice gets back on its feet after being knocked down again.

Look at the world. Everywhere there’s pain, there’s also someone showing up with compassion. Everywhere there’s despair, there’s someone planting seeds anyway. That’s resurrection! That’s new life breaking through the cracks.

Resurrection isn’t magic. It’s movement. It’s love getting up again and again…

If you want to experience resurrection, you just have to pay attention to the ways love keeps choosing to rise right in front of you.

Where do you see signs of resurrection breaking through — in your life, in your community, or in the world — and how might God be inviting you to join in that rising love?
