Acts 1o:34a, 37-$ lColossians 3:1-4 or 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8 /John zo:r-9 or Mark r.5:r-7

We've all been waiting for this. For six weeks we've focused on letting go

of ourtreasureto help others, taking in a little lessfood, and reaching outto God a little more, all so that we might in some small way prepare forthis day-the greatest celebration of our Church year.So now, after the alleluias have been sung, the baptismal vows repeated,and the Easter lamb or ham eaten, it's time to ask ourselves, "What was all

that preparation for? How have I changed?"When I was young, I gave up candy or little treats for Lent, but after Easter I

happily went back to eating candy and carried on as before.As a young adult, lbegan using Lentto correct bad habits. lhad a little moresuccess keeping those at bay after Easter but, I confess, I didn't see myselfas transformed."How have I drawn closer to Christ through this Lent?" "How will I showforth the glory of his resurrection in your life?" "How will I do these things?"These are good questions for all of us to ask as this Easter winds down.Once they realized what had happened, the early Christians couldn't keep itto themselves.They preached about Jesus' death and resurrection wherever they went,witnessed to the change he'd made in their lives, and tried to live

differently. They invited others to join them. Jesus calls us to do no less.

How have Lent and Easter and the memory of Christ's death and

resurrection changed you?How will you live out that change?

d e ar PAD Rf,

In the Cospel of Luke, tlrc three wotnen who discouer the empty

tomb are greeted by nuo men. Howeuer, Mark says thty were

greeted by one man, Mattluw says one angel, and John says hao

angek. Why the discrepancies?

Vlhen considering the contents of the gospels, we need

to remember a few key points.

First, the Scriptures as we know them developed out of an

oral tradition that was later written to preserve it. Theprocess of actually getting them in writing took many years.

In addition, the Gospels were written by different authorswho had different audiences with different needs. So it'sunderstandable that there may be minor discrepancies onminor details between the different accounts.

However, it's important to note that the substance of theaccounts remains essentially the same across the versionswe have from the different gospel authors.

The detail of whether there was one man or two angels at

Lord's tomb-or 5,000 or 3,000 fed at Jesus' multiplicationof the loaves, to give another example-isn't as importantas the fact that the Lord had risen or that the multitudeswere fed by him.
