RCL reflection for Easter Sunday, Year C. April 20, 2025. Easter marks not only the culmination of Jesus’ earthly ministry, but also a launching point for our resurrection living. And key to that is a call to be witnesses to Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. The Rev. Micah Krey explores.
RCL Reflection, Resurrection of our Lord, Year C, April 21, 2019
I wonder…what witnesses to the gospel would be deemed unreliable today? Will we be like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, and the other women who were perplexed by what they found yet willing to tell and live into the story anyway? (Photo: TED, Creative Commons)
Narrative Lectionary Reflection for Easter Sunday, Year Three, April 16, 2017
Funny thing about this Easter story—the point is to go and share the story. It’s about faithfully stewarding the Good News of Jesus to a world that desperately needs to hear it. Sure folks may not believe it at first, but some will come to see and experience Jesus for themselves. This is no idle tale! It’s the life-changing story of Jesus’ love. (Photo: Creative Commons)
Resurrection of our Lord, Year C, March 27, 2016
Are twelve short verses, an idle tale, and some unlikely evangelists enough to make an Easter sermon this year? With God all things are possible, and what we have is more than enough. Get ready to celebrate! (Photo: Ted, Creative Commons)
Easter is an important day in the life of the church, but how does the rest of the world see it? As an “idle tale”? Maybe we all need to look at Easter through a new lens.
Why think of a 1970s horror film at Easter? We need to take a close look at how we script this story, especially for those who haven’t experienced the radical love and grace of our amazing God.
