How the fear of disaster need not be strong enough to stop ordinary people from attempting great things. How every living person is good enough for God just as they are. They seem to have figured out at last that nothing Jesus' life had started in them could be stopped, not even by his death. They definitely didn't feel like celebrating that first Easter morning. But we wouldn't be here this Easter morning if they hadn't come around sooner or later, in their own good time.
Easter is a very subtle holiday.
But that's not the real story. What Easter is about is the reality of new life in your life. Easter Day isn't the anniversary of the symbolism of Jesus' empty tomb. Easter preaches that nothing can close down the possibility of a whole new kind of tomorrow for you. Easter sings about an unlimited number of second chances out there for absolutely everybody absolutely all the time.
