Easter morning the greeting rings out: “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, Alleluia!” Indeed, nearly two millennia removed, we rest in the certainty of the Resurrection.
Yet, as the sun rises on this Easter Sunday, before rattling off a string of alleluias, we might do well to remember what gripped the disciples that first Easter morning: confusion. Greeted by an empty tomb, they did not know what to believe. As John’s Gospel clearly conveys, they saw and “they did not yet understand.” Had Jesus’ body been taken, or had he risen to glory like he said he would?
A few weeks ago, I spent much of my Monday at Wellesley Middle School. The sixth graders are doing a unit in Social Studies on world religions. You may not be surprised to hear that I was on a panel representing Christianity! Along with a Greek Orthodox priest and a Protestant minister, over the course of four periods, we gave presentations on our Christian denomination, highlighting both unique elements of our traditions as well as the many more beliefs and practices we share in common. Then the students were given the opportunity to ask questions. This was by far the most interesting part of the classes. I found it particularly fascinating as we fielded questions from students who clearly had little knowledge of Christianity outside of this social studies class. It allowed us Christian leaders to see our faith from the perspective of those who had never before heard the Gospel.
