 | "A rejection of the fundamental
miracles which the Church has from the first learned to connect with the Incarnate Life,
if it takes a firm hold upon the thought of our time, cannot fail to issue in a widespread
loss of faith in the central mystery of Christianity, and a corresponding loss of the
higher life which that mystery inspires." |

Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
|
"First
Thoughts on Year A Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter Sunday,"
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
|
"We should not see the event as
proving resurrection as a belief, since that would have been widespread.
It was more that this Jesus had been raised, had been raised first of all,
and, as follows later in the chapter, has a role to exercise and a
commission to give. That commission, in turn, directs attention to the
ministry and teaching of Jesus as the good news." |

Exegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at
CrossMarks
Christian Resources.
|
"We need to proclaim a radical
resurrection faith in the present, not just a historical event." |
|
|
"Beyond
the Sabbath,"
Jerry Goebel, One
Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study
and activities.
| "Here
is where the Gospel must always lead us. From “Come, see,” to “Go and
take.” We cannot have one side of the Gospel message without the other.
If our come and see does
not lead to go and take, we
are not obedient followers." |
|
|
"Expectation," Frederick J. Streets, The Christian Century, 1993.
| "The resurrection story is not only about hope. It is a
testament to the presence of God among us. It is good to know that God
will not separate God's love from us. We may distance ourselves from God,
but God is as close to us as a prayer in our hearts." |
|
|
"God
Goes Ahead of Us (Matt 28:1-8),"
John C. Purdy. Chapter 12 of God With a Human Face (1993),
republished at Religion
Online.
| "As so often happens,
the great discovery was the work of amateurs. An amateur is, in the
primary sense of the term, a "lover." Surely the Marys went to
the tomb out of love...if we know anything of human nature, we know that
love was the primary force that drove them there. Love is a more
reliable alarm clock than Faith or Hope - more likely to get you out of
bed and get you going early in the morning." |

"Recognizing
the Risen Lord," Marianne Sawicki, Theology Today, 1988.
| "Action on behalf of the needy
is not an implication of resurrection faith, but a precondition for
it. Talk about resurrection is literally meaningless in the absence
of such action. This raises the serious question of what it takes to
speak correctly today about resurrection, to mean what the tradition
has meant by the term." |

and Women in Matthew," Jane Kopas,
University of Scranton. Theology Today, 1990.
| "It is not only the gentiles
but mothers and daughters and other marginalized people or outsiders
who get a special hearing from Jesus, Not only do they receive a
special hearing, but they seem to hear and see the possibilities in
his mission beyond what others see." |
