Death, in one form or another, touches all of us in a myriad of ways. That is why death is so believable, so much easier to accept than is resurrection life. We may cry, kick, scream, yell, and lament our situation and the circumstances in the world around us, but in the end we accept and eventually grow accustomed to a world where death prevails. Thomas speaks for most of us when he questions the possibility of Jesus' resurrection. Resurrection is a threat to the orderly world where death prevails, for Thomas and for each of us.
Resurrection rearranges everything.
It challenges us to see life as an adventure that demands new actions on our part. Resurrection compels us to look at the world with eyes of hope. Resurrection invites us to move into a future where God's love prevails over the cynical finality of death. Resurrection life is always busy changing things. Resurrection changes everything.
