Today we begin our journey in discovering who Jesus truly is.

Compared with the joy of new birth celebrated at Christmas, complete with tangible images of cuddly animals, tender shepherds, and a tiny baby, the feast of Easter greets us with the aftermath of a grueling death and an empty tomb.

Artists often make the best theologians. Since ancient times they've also been some of the most effective ones.

Fishermen will often be out on the lake before dawn, sitting quietly observing how the light filters in and brings clarity to the shoreline, the trees, the horizon. The true meaning of the Resurrection has to “dawn” on us like that—over time—just as it did for the first disciples on the scene on Easter morning.

Living in a family is a great way to learn that people’s biggest fault is typically just the flip side of their best virtue.
