Resurrection means the life we know is not all there is to life. God may introduce surprises to all unfolding stories.

Face it. We often feel bound by history, both corporate and personal. Most of us seldom use the term “fate”,” but we act as if our lives are already determined. What is shall be. What we are we shall remain.

We live as if God is powerless to intervene in unexpected ways. The resurrection calls us to our senses. God reserves the right to introduce a new, salvific theme into the world’s story (or our individual stories) at any time.
