Celebrating Life This Easter Sunday, Prt. 3 of 3

I humbly offer the following: While indeed Easter Sunday may be technically no different than any Sunday in which we take the Eucharist and proclaim Christ’s resurrection until he comes again—it is unique in a sense that the world gives us a free Sunday in which we can shout the message from the rooftops. It is a rare day in which the world may just actually listen, if even for a second. And given the opportunity to make a special evangelistic proclamation on a special calendar day; well, I will gladly take it every time. I am only humbled that through Christ I have an abundant life which grants me the opportunity to do so.

Similarly, every day of her being I celebrate baby Michaela’s life: That certainly will not stop me from lavishing her with gifts and celebration every March 22! So in the end, Easter Sunday may not be technically any ‘different’ than any other Sunday on any other week in any other month. Yet it does afford us a unique opportunity to ‘put on our Sunday best’ before the world and proclaim the Living Christ to many who may very well not hear the message the rest of the year. We celebrate life—especially the Author of Life—every day we are afforded such, with every breath we take: Let us celebrate even more boldly on this special Easter Sunday (April 15 this year), and in doing so remind ourselves what a great thing it is to bask in and share the very light of life that sustains the whole world!
