This evening I had the privilege to proclaim the reading from Romans at the Easter Vigil at my parish. Romans 6:3-11 is my favorite reading. Why? It is the culmination of Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection. It is why He came to earth, to destroy death.
In this passage we hear that, "...death no longer has power over him." Because of this, death no longer has power over us also. It does not hold us bound. We will live with Christ.
This is also a comforting passage as I think of those who have gone before me in my family and in community. I know that they are living the newness of life that God promises.
Rejoice this Easter Season! Christ is Risen! Alleluia.
