At an Easter lesson every child brought a box holding something that speaks of life waking up, and when the teacher opened Filip’s box, the room fell silent. That scene opens a reflection on the empty tomb and on what the apostle Paul calls the foundation of the whole faith (1 Corinthians 15; Matthew 28). The sermon recalls an event that changed the course of history more than the printing press or the discoveries of Copernicus, and a Jesus who stands by the grave and calls Mary by name. Listen if you want to see what the resurrection changes in your today.
The Resurrection Changes Everything
(Im)perfect
Sometimes we feel like we don’t belong in church because we’re not perfect. Other times, the imperfections of others-their sins and failures-make us prefer to stay away from a church that’s so far from perfect. However, 1 Corinthians shows us how, even while being imperfect ourselves, we can find our place among other imperfect people in the Church, which is both perfect and imperfect at the same time. 1 Corinthians is life itself, but life seen from the perspective of what God can do with it and how He can change it.
