About this listen
Tonight we name the turning point of the Christian story and proclaim that Jesus Christ is risen, which means darkness and death do not get the final word. We challenge ourselves to stop living as though the tomb is still sealed and to step into the new life God has already opened.
• remembering Holy Thursday and Good Friday as the road to Easter
• proclaiming the resurrection as conquest not escape
• rethinking the rolled-away stone as an invitation to see
• speaking directly to catechumens preparing for baptism
• describing baptism as washing, rebirth, and a new identity
• calling the baptized to renew promises with honesty and force
• rejecting sin ferociously and stepping out of fear and shame
• living as Easter people because love refused to stay dead
Now it's up to us to go out and live that good news.
