      ~ Easter 2009, some thoughts ~

      Have you ever watched a favorite movie, or TV show, or read a favorite book, time and time again, and gotten completely immersed in the suspense and drama?  Even though we know how the story will turn out, we still get caught up in the plot complication:  will the good guy win over the bad guy?  How will the hero escape this situation?

      To me, Easter is like that.  We know how the story ends - Jesus is risen!  Yet, as we navigate through Thursday, and Friday, and Saturday, and wait for Sunday, we feel the passion, the agony, and the sadness that is the crucifixion.  Part of it out of the story itself, part of it coming to grips with our own sinfulness, both personally and corporately, that moved Jesus to choose the cross for us.  We wonder - will the good guy win over the bad guy?  How will the hero escape this situation?

      The good guy wins!  The hero arose from the situation!  Death is conquered, sin is forgiven!  We celebrate - He is risen!  He is risen indeed! 

      Maybe God created a sense of drama, suspense, and anticipation within us so that we would always re-live the sorrow of Good Friday and the joy of Easter.

      I know I did this year.  And will again.

      And I wait until Jesus comes again, even though I've read ahead and know how the story will turn out.
