Celebrating the Resurrection of the Lord at the Most Magical Place on Earth
Thank you to my fellow bloggers who found the time to post over this Easter weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through them and catching up this morning.
As for me, well, I simply couldn't get around to it.
I was busy celebrating, feasting, basking in the beauty and magic and imagination of God's new world, and strengthening the bonds of the family that has been entrusted to my care.
That's right, I was at Disneyland!
We don't have a fatted calf or anything, so I thought that would be the next best thing.
I would celebrate for much longer if I could, but there's simply no time. I'll keep the celebration in my heart for as long as I can, though.
For He is risen. Hallelujah!
But today, its back to work. Hopefully, though, its back to work from a new perspective, from the perspective of the resurrection of the Lord of the Cosmos, which Paul ruminates upon in so much detail in 1 Cor. 15, and then concludes, not by reveling in the future hope that the resurrection promises, but by emphasizing what it calls us to in the present:
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, inasmuch as you know that, in the Lord, your labors are not in vain!
Back to work then...in the Lord...the Crucified and Risen Lord.
Grace and Peace,
Raffi
