Easter Sunday has passed. We've walked through the times of hosannas and the times of sadness. We've supped with Jesus, broken bread, and washed feet. We've watched him be flogged, crucified, mocked...then laid in the tomb. The Cross is empty and so is the tomb. The Easter story has ended. Or has it? As Easter people, our story is just now beginning. We walk away from the cross and out into the world. Now is the time to live the rest of the story as Christ taught; to love God and to love our neighbors. I like to think this fisherman that I saw along the Mediterranean coast last September was starting out on his journey to 'fish for men,' just as Christ instructed his disciples. Christ has invited us into a relationship with God, the Father. Now is the time to accept that invitation, to leave Easter and live in relationship with God in the world.
