Easter: Day of Resurrection

Morning: Psalm 148, 149, 150; Exodus 12:1-14; John 1:1-18
Evening: Psalm 113, 114; Isaiah 51:9-11; Luke 24:13-35
Since their deliverance from slavery in Egypt, Jews have celebrated Passover with unleavened bread, to recall their hasty flight through the Red Sea waters to new life. Christians pass through the waters too – in baptism – into a new way of life.  And Jesus made Passover bread and wine into a meal to remember him by.  Like the disciples Jesus met on the road to Emmaus, we may recognize Jesus’ presence when we break bread together. It doesn’t have to be communion, because every meal is sacred; every meal invites us to realize that God is with us.
