After Sunday: What Resurrection Demands

The resurrection does not give the disciples answers — it gives them a calling. This essay reflects on what it means to leave the tomb without certainty, carrying presence, responsibility, and hope into a world that has not yet been healed.

Resurrection Refuses Finality

Resurrection is not sentimental comfort but a quiet refusal to accept despair as inevitable. This essay explores resurrection as ontological resistance — a challenge to systems built on finality, fear, and decay — and why Sunday remains a defiant reorientation of reality itself.

Sunday Is a Reorientation, Not a Reset

Sunday is often framed as a reset — a clean slate that erases what came before. Resurrection offers something heavier. It binds past and future together, refuses erasure, and reorients life around a story that does not end in collapse.

An Early Witness on "Going to Heaven"

I was taught that we don't "go to heaven" when we die, but remain unconscious in the ground until our resurrection. This first-century Christian document, however, suggests otherwise.

What Will Your Resurrection Body Be Like?

With so much emphasis on "going to heaven" or "going to hell" when we die, everyday Christians sometimes forget the fundamental doctrine of resurrection. What will become of our bodies? What will they be like?

"You can’t pour the new life of Christ into the old self" Wednesday of Trinity 19 2025

But you can’t patch the old with a little grace. You can’t pour the new life of Christ into the old self that wants to run the show. The old self has to die. The old wineskin has to burst. That’s what happens in Baptism. The old Adam is drowned. The new man rises. That’s what happens in Absolution. The old guilt is forgiven. The new life begins again. That’s what happens in the Supper. The old hunger is met with new wine—Christ’s own Blood poured out for you, filling you with His forgiveness and His life.

Free Article 2 (Sept. 25, 2025): When We Stop Resisting the Fall

Just as autumn glorifies its own decline, we too are called to fall with grace. This essay likens the fading of a life — and of civilizations themselves — to nature’s own rhythm of death and renewal. The fall, when received instead of resisted, becomes the beginning of rebirth.

"What no doctor, no medicine, no fortune could do—Christ does with a word!" Trinity 16 2025

Death still stings, but it cannot keep you. The grave still claims the body, but not the soul. Christ has made death a servant of life, turning the enemy into the doorway through which He brings His saints home. And so, when the day comes—and it will—when your strength fails and your eyes grow dim, do not be afraid. Christ will be there, as He was at Nain, as He was at the tomb, as He is here now. And He will say to you, not as a command of judgment but as a word of promise: “I say to you, arise!”

Ambrose on the Resurrection

87. If the earth and heaven are renewed, why should we doubt that man, on account of whom heaven and earth were made, can be renewed? If the transgressor be reserved for punishment, why should not the just be kept for glory? If the worm of sins does not die, how shall the flesh of the just perish? For the resurrection, as the very form of the word shows, is this, that what has fallen should rise again, that which has died should come to life again.

"The blind shall see, the deaf hear, the mute sing, the dead rise!" Wednesday of Trinity 12 2025

This is your hope: what He begins here, He will complete on the Last Day. The blind shall see, the deaf hear, the mute sing, the dead rise. For the same Jesus who opened eyes and loosed tongues has conquered death itself. “Behold, I am making all things new” (Revelation 21:5). Therefore, we join the blind men in their prayer: “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” This is the Church’s daily cry. In sickness, in sorrow, in sin—we cry for mercy. And Christ answers. Not always with a miracle of healing, but always with forgiveness, always with His presence, always with the promise of resurrection.
