Sermon Scripture: John 20:1-18

We are very familiar with death, but sometimes we are caught off guard by life, if we notice it at all. And that is exactly where the story of Easter begins. It begins in the shadow of Good Friday, still in the dark hours, in a garden before dawn, with a woman carrying burial spices toward a grave, doing the thing grief usually prompts us to do: stay busy. But she is in store for a miraculous surprise.

For seventeen centuries, the church has celebrated Easter with arms flung wide, calling everyone in, and the story we gather to tell is one we continue to admit we have not fully absorbed.
