This Easter Sunday is special one. The world seems stuck on the cross of GoodFriday while celebrating resurrection Sunday. COVID-19 cases still growing, death tolls rising and economies struggling to reopen while keeping public health safety rules.
Yet our faith, like the life of Jesus, reaches its crescendo at both the cross and resurrection. This two were not separate events, one of defeat and another of victory, but one event of glory. One event of the Kingdom of God breaking in, of Jesus being King.
So let us not wish to rush past the cross of GoodFirday as it is the doorway to Resurrection Sunday. And resurrection started that Friday afternoon as the earth shook and rocks broke, as the temple curtain was rendered in two, Romans giving their lives to Jesus and believers being raised from the graves. Even at the cross of GoodFriday, resurrection was already reaching out long before Sunday morning. There is resurrection even for a world stuck on the cross of GoodFriday, long before our Sunday dawns.
