Jn.2:22
Jesus has cleared the temple of people using it as a marketplace, reconcercrating it for worship. Then he reveals God is not found just in a physical building but within him, and that he is risen and alive.
That Jesus rose from the dead is central to my Christian Faith. As Saint Paul says, if this is not true then we of all people are to be most pitied.
But in fact Christ is risen. We are a resurrection people of joy and hope. Every day is Easter. Christ is risen, Alleluia!
Jesus, you are alive. Today I live in the joy of your resurrection.
