Resurrection of Our Lord: Easter Day | April 20
He is Risen! Trinity Family & Friends,
“The last enemy to be destroyed is death,” Paul writes. Today Christ is risen, and we
gather together with astonishment and joy. Christ is risen, and we have been set free
from the bonds of death. Christ is risen, and we are forgiven. Christ is risen, and
with the women at the tomb and Peter, we are amazed. Let us rejoice: Christ is risen
indeed! Alleluia!

Readings:
First Reading: Acts 10:34-43 - At the end of the Gospel of Luke, Jesus commissions his disciples as witnesses to the whole world. Now Peter has been summoned to preach to a Gentile for the first time (Cornelius, a Roman centurion), and the barrier between Jews and the Gentiles will not simply be crossed, but eliminated.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 - Some Christians in Corinth were teaching that faith in Jesus made one immortal, so that anyone in the community who died could not have been a true Christian. In opposition to this, Paul noted that several of the witnesses of the resurrection – true Christians by any definition – had already died. And to cap his argument, he brings in the example of Christ himself, and affirms resurrection, not immortality, as the hope of Christians.
Gospel: Luke 24:1-12 - In this story, as elsewhere in Luke’s Gospel, women are remarkable for their courage and insight, but are discounted. His story of Easter continues with the appearance on the Road to Emmaus, and Jesus further appearance to all the disciples on Easter evening – we will hear those stories at other times. The “two men in dazzling clothes” who greet the women might well be Moses and Elijah, representing the law and the prophets, continuing their dress from the Transfiguration; they will appear again at Jesus’s Ascension (Acts 1:10)
