Even when it seems like we finally get all the answers, we find that we’re still left with questions! After Jesus unfolds the Law and the Prophets to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, after they recognize him in the breaking of the bread, after he disappears, they find themselves asking, “Did not our hearts burn within us?”

“There is really only one question on Easter morning, asked by two or three questioners.

“There is only one question in the readings for Holy Saturday, and it is not spoken aloud: Joseph of Arimathea’s request to take Jesus’ body and prepare it for burial (John 19:38). What questions must we ask to care for those who need our help the most?” (Justin Kosec, Preachers’ Notes for Holy Week and Easter)

“In this moment, God stands falsely accused before a human judge. Yet Jesus does not resist. Jesus does not point the finger at someone else. Jesus does not seek justification. Jesus simply yields to the punitive measures of an unjust human society.” (Justin Kosec, Preachers’ Notes for Holy Week and Easter)

“After Jesus washes the disciples’ feet, he responds with a question of his own: “Do you know what I have done to you?” (John 13:12). ...Jesus hasn’t just cleaned them up. He has changed the nature of their relationship on the atomic level in a way that will unfold gradually over the days and years to come.” (Justin Kosec, Preachers’ Notes for Holy Week and Easter)

A blessing from the Geese for church workers and volunteers for this Holy Week.
