From the Minister's Studs'
`Christ is risen! Alleluia! Christ is risen indeed'
By Rev. Ethel Miner Clare
Belgrave United Church
Christ is risen!
Alleluia! Christ is risen indeed.'
That joyful refrain rang out in
Christian churches this past
weekend. What were we saying?
Was this just part of an annual ritual
or was there something more?
As Christians we believe there is
something more, much more. We are
proclaiming the essential truth of our
faith - Christ is alive and present
with us. We believe the risen Jesus
walks with us throughout our life's
journey into life-beyond-death.
Death does not have the final say.
According to John's gospel,
following her encounter with the
risen Jesus. Mary tells the disciples.
"I have seen the Lord."
For Mary and for us there is a
sudden and shocking awareness that,
in Jesus. God does something with
death that is completely unexpected.
In Jesus' resurrection, a 'new thing.'
has taken place.
Resurrection is God's act of grace
whereby we are reconciled to God

and to one another. Resurrection is
not about death; resurrection is about
living.
Easter is not something to he
argued. reasoned out, demonstrated.
Easter is to be experienced. enjoyed,
to be a source of awe and wonder.
When we truly believe that
resurrection is from God, then our
daily lives reflect that belief in the
way we live God's love. With God
enabling us, we follow the example
Jesus gave us of how to live that
love.
We feed the hungry ensuring that
our food hank shelves are full. The
sick are not forgotten, we give them
and their caregivers our support. We
welcome the stranger in our midst
We do not turn a blind eye. hut find
ways to eliminate violence in our
homes, our schools, our workplaces.

Bir struggling faith communities. for
hurting people. We give voice to
those who have no voice. We arc
there when a friend, neighbour, or
family member needs a listening ear.
We live our lives with compassion
and caring.
When we do this, we become
witnesses to the resurrection. Our
lives, as well as our words, proclaim
"Christ has died, Christ is risen:
Christ is with us row and always!"
Thanks be to God.
