A Radical trust in God

"This is what resurrection faith is all about. It’s got nothing to do with theories and doctrines and speculations about the nature of Jesus’ post-Easter body. It is a radical trust in the God who keeps coming back when everything seems lost. A willingness in the face of overwhelming odds, of oppressive power-mongering and the might of dollar and dictator, to entrust ourselves to the ways of life and love. To sing and dance and celebrate in the face of those who would stifle joy and measure out existence by the spoonful. To rejoice even in the face of our own doubts, because as Matthew said, even face to face with the risen Christ some still doubted. So used have we become to the inevitability of the ways of death that we suspect we’ve lost our grip when we see with our own eyes that it is not so. But it doesn’t say they were kicked out of the church."
