Easter 2023

Every year, one line from the Easter story comes to mind

I decided that I would talk about that line today
- the women came early in the morning,
• and they found the tomb, but they did not find Jesus
• however, two men met them, dressed in dazzling apparel
◦ I don’t know about their "apparel," but that sounds like "Project Runway" to me
◦ the only other time Luke uses the word for dazzling, it’s translated “lightning”
(later they’re referred to as “angels”--vv. 22-23)
they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”
- that’s the line: “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”
• it’s a good one, isn’t it? The kind that preachers love
• can we think about this line for awhile?
