Christ has risen, he has truly arisen!

Throughout yesterday, Holy Saturday, the thought of what would happen today, Easter Sunday was not far from my mind. And yet I had nothing to say for although I went about my daily tasks, in my mind I shared in the emptiness  that had overcome the disciples who were at a total loss after the death on the cross.

God knows that I truly partake/believe in the revelation that has never been an instant welcoming of Jesus, True Man and True God, but was and still is an event evolving over the lifetime of Jesus of Nazareth into his death and today's confirmation of the Glory of God.

John waited for Peter to enter the tomb. Mary ran, Peter and John also ran. We are not told of "running" anywhere in the New Testament except on this morning when the news of an empty tomb compounded the misery felt by all the disciples.

No one but the participant True Man is present at the Resurrection, it is an event that can happen only within the triune being that is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. The nativity of our Lord was an event that took place in the human time lived by the True Man and witnessed by Mary, Angels, Joseph and Shepherds.

All the recorded meetings with the risen Lord are initiated by him. 

He still chooses us, but still allows us to respond of our own free will.

He is still True Man and has not abandoned the corpse that was enclosed in the tomb.

He asks for food.

He is beyond the material restrictions of creation yet his body bears the wounds of the crucifixion endured as the reality of true man in this world.

He "vanishes" from the sight of witnesses as he is recognised.

The Resurrection is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT'S confirmation that he loves us and helps us to choose the Glory of Eternal Life that is his purpose in calling us "friends" and preparing a home for us within the "many mansions" that are His the "True God" of the "True Man" who today reveals what we will become when we bow our heads and from the depths off our beings co-respond with Thomas, "My Lord and my God".
