Witness to the Resurrection. "…To contemplate Ash Wednesday is to consider the essence of Christian faith, for it takes us directly to the fundamental fears made null and void by the Risen One. Jesus' resurrection announces to us time and time again that Hamlet's dread, our dread - although true to life as we live it in all our clouded vision - is not the last word in God's scheme of things. God's last word is resurrection…Ultimately, the faith that speaks so eloquently through story and symbol - about the fact that we must die in order to rise, that weeping does turn into rejoicing, that the Almighty became a vulnerable and finite human, that God will be the judge of all eternity - that faith is what the funeral holds out to the gathered mourners. The primary message of the funeral is the ultimate message of the cross and the empty tomb." from the introduction. The Worship Matters series. |
