Over the Lenten season I’ve posted some short reflections on Erik Varden’s The Shattering of Loneliness.  I think it appropriate to link to his Easter reflection, which I found to be short and sweet.  You can read the whole thing here.  One of my favorite snippets:

It seems to me that we, as Christians, more easily identify with Jesus’s Passion than with his Resurrection. We should do something about that. Life is what is definitive. That’s what we’re made for.

We don’t inhabit a world of pretence. But we live in a redeemed world. No death is final.
