“Do not be alarmed;
you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
He has been raised; he is not here.”
—Mark 16.6
God has done what God is free to do,
as with the first “Let there be light,”
what God has never done before,
what God is always doing:
dismantling and making anew the world
and all we thought possible.
The dominion of death,
and all its rulers and warriors,
have been defeated, forever.
What has transgressed is forgiven.
What has died is given new life.
The entire world, all of life and even death itself
is in the hands of God, the God of life.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness cannot overcome it.
Christ is risen.
Alleluia.
