In his account of the Resurrection Matthew describes more dramatic events than the other Gospels. (28:1-10.) An angel with a face like lightning rolls back the stone from the cave. "Suddenly there was a violent earthquake." Matthew wants us to realize that the Resurrection is of cosmic importance, shaking the foundations of our world. Things will never be the same.
This evil virus is shattering our earth. Things may never be the same. Even when it's hard to see him, the Risen Christ remains deep within us and within our universe. We can let him draw us into a more loving relationship now and be ready to work with him as he loves our earth into new life.
