Scripture:
Brothers and Sisters: If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. Colossians 3:1-4
Reflection:
As we journey together through Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter we will surely be in deep contemplation of things earthly and heavenly. We share in the pain of Friday, the desolation of Saturday and the celebration of Sunday. We may gather in communities with friends, families and congregations. But some, may be without community. Remember how the disciples scattered after the crucifixion? Yet, Easter calls us to gather together. To celebrate!
Practice:
This Easter, as you gather with friends, families and congregations, where are the outsiders? Where are the people on the margins? Is there someone you can invite into your celebration? Is there room at your table for one more? Who will be seated at your right hand? Who can you invite into the Easter Brotherhood and Sisterhood?
