He has Risen indeed, how lazy am I?

Alleluia! Three weeks late. The business of lent and holy week knocked me off my feet. Much like the bewildered disciples on Easter day I was tired and almost wondered if the whole thing was a hallucination. But, with time and rest, the truth of Easter and the joy of the Gospel stand firm.

As the disciples encountered a risen and even more perplexing Jesus, they wondered "What now?" They had been following Jesus for 3 years. Do they go back to old jobs? Do they hang out and wait for Jesus to take them to heaven? What now?

At Crossings we ask the same questions - is this real? what now? Over the next few weeks, we will read stories of how Jesus comes to the disciples in the midst of their doubt, confusion and struggles to guide them on the path of becoming a church.
