My mother was buried Monday this week. If you are scheduled to preach on the Sunday of the Resurrection here are a few things I need to hear (and one thing I don’t want to hear) and it is up to you to make sure I hear them.
I do not want to hear the word Easter. It is time to resurrect, so to speak, resurrection. Call this coming Sunday what it is: Resurrection Sunday. Easter is chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks (and I’ll fight you for the last marshmallow chick, just so you know). But Resurrection Sunday is altogether different.
