Easter Weeping – John 20:1-18
Easter is tricky when it comes to faith. We come for the happy ending–the “and then they lived happily ever after.” But there is weeping on Easter morning and it continues today. The resurrection story proclaims hope over despair and life over death, yet we know that life continued, and continues for us, as a story of spiking heartbreak moments that are not forever fixed. The nature of being created for love is that we will always hunger for more, that there is never enough life and love to satisfy. And endings are often too soon. But perhaps a good enough faith is one that moves through the chronic nature of being incurably human with an eye for resurrection moments that assure us that this good enough life is worthy of our amazement.
