Evening: Psalm 18:21-50; Amos 4:6-13; Luke 20:27-40
Debates about resurrection occurred long before reports that Jesus had risen from the dead. Some – the Sadducees – refused to believe in resurrection; others – the Pharisees – accepted it. Jesus seems to have understood resurrection as a way of speaking about the mystery of a reality in which all are ‘alive to God’, even those who have died. How do you believe in a mystery? Well, probably because you trust the one who points to the mystery without trying to explain it. I tend to trust Jesus … so I am keeping an open mind about the mystery of the resurrection.
