Where to start? I wonder if Jesus asked the same question when he was broken out from the tomb & the dead? In his new, raised, state, I guess he didn't have to ask any such question. He just knew. When we've been broken out of some living death, some tomb of our own or someone else's making, did we have to ask 'Where next? What next?' or did we just know, too?
My journey, particularly since a personal resurrection (cardio-thoracic type!) some years ago, tells me that once I'm actually alive, God shows me what to do. Not always dotting the i's & crossing the t's, but pointing me in the right direction. Towards Godself at the Centre & all others including me as part of the circle round that Centre. Celtic style. The Sun (Son) risen & ringing the celtic crosses is pretty powerful stuff. Staking God's claim to Centrality in all. Light for all. Love for all. Life for all.

In his stimulating & imaginative 'Ballad of the Breadman', [The Sun Dancing, Kestrel, '82] Charles Causley portrays Jesus as 'charged with bringing the living to life'. I like that. For me it's a better starting point than much of our usual church talk about 'bringing the dead to life'. Aren't the living dead more priority than the dead dead? If I'm not consciously raised in this life, I'm not sure I can expect to be in the next.  Sure, I believe in the resurrection of the dead, but mainly because I believe in, I experience, the resurrection of the living, too. Here & now as well as there & then.

We may be able to get our heads round The Resurrection, but unless we look into our heart & find it there too, & our own resurrection in there with it, then, to dust off Paul, 'we are of all people most miserable'. Paul' operates pretty much at head-only level as I understand him, but given what happened to him, there had to be more to it than that. Heart as well as head. (Someone ought to write a thesis on Paul's heart, instead of all the head stuff he's noted for!) Would they find enough heart in us, too, to go with all the head stuff we're always dishing out? The disciples' heads told them Jesus couldn't rise from the dead. But he did. He was raised. (I prefer the more biblical 'he was raised'; it wasn't some Houdini- like conjuring act.)

That there was a real Easter for Jesus means there can be one for us, too. Now, & later. Where to start living that out?
