Rev. Cari reflected with the grown-ups on Luke’s version of the Easter morning narrative (Luke 24:1-12) after sharing it as Godly Play with the children.

The unique element in Luke’s telling is the question the “shining ones” ask the women at the tomb: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”

What happens when we are looking for the dead, and we are confronted with the living, is the story of Easter. And how we make sense of that shocking newness of life – what we do next – is how Easter becomes our story.
