And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.”  (‭‭Genesis‬…

  Memories light the corners of my mind.  Misty water-colored memories of the way we were . . .* The Way We Were (song) Barbra Streisand These lyrics of a 1973 song made famous by Barbra Streisand evoke feelings that each of us can easily relate to as we look back and contemplate the past.  Remembrance is a common human experience that fills our lives and frames our worldview.   We have shared cultural memories that we celebrate together, such as the upcoming Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th, a holiday for honoring the men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:1-4‬) There is a place in Rome, actually underneath the city, where there are approximately 600 miles of subterranean passages containing millions of Christian graves. These catacombs served as tombs from the second to the fifth centuries and were also used as safe places…

“Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm‬ ‭117:1-2‬) Early on Sunday morning, just about the break of day, Mary and some other women came to the tomb where Jesus had been buried. However, the stone was rolled back and the tomb was empty. The Son had risen just as he had predicted many times.   In fact, this “Resurrection” Sunday was planned by God to be the culmination of Jesus’ mission to save people from sin and death.  From the start of his public ministry, Jesus knew he would be killed and that he would rise to live again. He told this fact to the religious leaders who were…
