The Little Series: Easter, Volume 4

 For teachers to use in better understanding the festival of Easter.
... At Easter, we are again standing at the portal into the spiritual world. All who trust
in Christ, who recognize him, know that it is the same portal through which we
came forth into this life, through which we will also return. Again, the crucified and
resurrected one is the representative of humanity. In the resurrection body, he
shows himself to the women and the disciples, and speaks to them and lives with
them, until upon Ascension he unites himself with the life- and destiny-world of
“all peoples of the Earth.” As he speaks to Paul on the road to Damascus out of
the light of the spiritual world, so is he the leader of human destinies, the power
of love, the light of truth, and the grace living in all human community. Where two
or more are gathered together in his name, he is there in the midst of us — and
for all days until the end of the world, will he be with us.
