Easter Sunday
SEEDS OF FAITH
There is a brevity, a certain terseness, in
the scripture readings for Easter Sunday.
Peter’s speech in Acts is built of direct,
pointed sentences. Paul’s letters are based
on straightforward creed-like statements.
Even the Gospel story only briefly recounts
what will turn out to be one of the most
remarkable events in human history—
the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
Advertising agents call these encapsulated
points of information “bullet points.”
Scripture scholars call them kerygma, or
“kernels” of our faith. Actually, “kernels”
or “seeds” are good terms for these
statements, since throughout the Easter
season, we will hear in the Acts of the
Apostles, the Letters of Paul and the
Gospel accounts of the days following the
Resurrection, exactly how these kerygma
began to flower, how they continued to
grow through the life of the early church.
May these Easter “seeds” of faith serve a
similar purpose for us, too, so that the life
of the Risen Christ will flourish in us and
through our witness in the coming days.
