This thing, Easter, did not occur in a corner. Philosopher Feuerbach said Easter represented no more than humanity's lust for personal immortality. We want so to live forever, we wishfully project a God who fulfills our fondest hopes. Easter wasn't just about Jesus being resurrected. It was about God getting his way with the world, God getting the last word in the story, and that word was life, not death, that word was large.
Death is large.
Easter is larger. Today we reach for our most extravagant song to sing of it. Words seem inadequate. The one who is raised from the tomb shall ascend to heaven, shall rule at the right hand of God, shall reign. He has put this day all things at his feet and the last enemy being destroyed is death.
