The Resurrection is only the beginning

Second Sunday of Easter
Acts 5:12-16; Rev 1:9-13 & 17-19; John 20:19-31 (Year C)

The Gospels conclude with the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. This is scarcely the end of the story. The Acts of the Apostles, together with the letters of the New Testament, take up the narrative of Christ’s Risen Presence as the driving force of the early Church. Like those early Christians, we are challenged to acknowledge the Risen Christ at work in our congregations, to become living signs of his Resurrection.
