by Gregory S. Athnos (Author)
Is the turning point of human history the Jesus of the cross or the Christ of the resurrection? We live on this side of the resurrection, yet we act as if we are on the far side of the crucifixion. Staring into the cross from the Good Friday perspective makes it difficult to see beyond it. It consumes us. It blocks our vision. Even though we understand in our minds there was a Sunday we continue to stand in our hearts on Friday. Are we missing life in the brilliant light of the resurrection? Try to imagine the profound transformation from the disciples' broken spirit on Friday to their heart-stopping joy on Sunday evening. Transformation was truly so wrenching there could never be a return to their pre-resurrection world. They began to see the cross through the lens of the resurrection, every time. The risen Lord became their launching pad for faith, and from that glorious platform they reached back and embraced his crucifixion. It should be the same for us!
