Resurrection Is the Way Things Work

We believe resurrection is not a one-time event—it is the shape of reality. Life moves through cycles of loss and renewal, and we are always being invited into that rhythm. When we let go, when we fall apart, when we suffer, something deeper is already at work. We are not outside the process; we are inside it. Resurrection is just the way things work. Easter affirms that life does not end at death. The pattern of transformation is trustworthy. We don’t have to pretend it’s easy, but we do need to stay with it. We stay on the path, through the letting go, through the not-knowing, because something is always being born again. This isn’t about exclusion. It’s about belonging to the movement of life itself.

May we go forth trusting that resurrection
is just the way things work,
and live with steady hope in the unfolding of life.
