With each passing year...the older I get...my faith seems to be moving from acceptance of abstraction to acceptance of the very real. As a child, I didn't really understand how incredible the words "He has risen!" really are. And how this statement defies human understanding, yet, I accepted easily. As an adult, my faith is filled with much more wonder for recognition of what "He has risen!" really means. The memory of my recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land contributes to this wonder. The stories and places of the bible are so much more real to me. Gratitude fills my heart this Easter, but mostly for Jesus and the perspective His teachings bring.
