Scripture: John 20:1-18 I’m holding a box this Easter morning. We live in a shipping culture. We do even more online ordering in these days of social distancing. If you’re curious, here’s what Americans are seeking the most during this pandemic: online grocery orders have skyrocketed. In 2nd place are survival supplies – masks, disinfectants, water and air purifiers, etc. In 3rd place is what they categorize as “backyard betterment.” I found that one interesting. Apparently, we’re investing a lot more in our backyards since that’s likely going to be our vacation destination this spring. Suppose a box were to magically appear at your front door right now and all the tracking information would tell you is that it contained what you’ve been seeking most. What would be in that box? Would it be a big wad of money? World peace? A forever love? A cure for COVID-19? What are you seeking most?

Scripture: Mark 16:1-8 The story goes that, at the funeral of the great escape artist, Harry Houdini, as two of the pallbearers, Dillingham and Ziegfield, carried Houdini's casket out of the church, Dillingham leaned over to Ziegfield and whispered, "Ziggie, I bet you a hundred bucks he ain't in there." Apparently at the time of their deaths, Houdini had more believers than our Lord… because all four of our gospel accounts are in agreement that, early on that first Easter morning, Jesus' followers had pretty low expectations. In Mark's gospel, it is Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome who go first to the tomb. They go there early in the morning right after the sun has risen.

Scripture: Luke 24:1-12 In a classic Family Circle cartoon strip, the two children have found their Easter baskets and are enjoying them. The little boy asks, "Who colored all these eggs?" |
