This pattern of the repeated revelation of God began a long time ago. It was played out in an empty tomb on a Sunday morning, it was played out again in an upper room that evening where frightened men and women locked themselves in for fear of the world out there. No, I think it is not stange at all. They go back to their familiar patterns of work - they go back to their fishing. And we go back to our familiar ways of working - to caring for the kids, to the shop, or the office, to school or the plant.
Life goes on.
And sometimes it seems that not much has changed. But it is a new day and God is at work. What was so real for us yesterday can become wrapped in doubt today. If we had to rely on one-time experiences to sustain our lives of faith most of us would fall away. But hear the Good News of the Gospel - the God of Jesus, the God in whom we believe, comes repeatedly to assure us of divine love.
