My pastor Sunday talked about the Ascension. Particularly the part where the disciples where standing around looking up. Frozen, without the confidence to be able to act.
It has struck me recently that our lines "Christ has died, Christ is Risen, Christ will come again" has us standing around, waiting.
In the Episcopalians baptismal covenant we promise to serve Christ in all that we meet. We talk about being part of the body of Christ. Has He not come again! For those of us who have been present at the birth of our child; is that not a glorias coming into the world?
For myself I have made a small change: "Christ has died, Christ is Risen, Christ has come again!"
Christ's image/spirit is in everyone I see and talk to.
