ELCA Presiding Bishop's 2010 Easter Message

ELCA Presiding Bishop's 2010 Easter Message

March 22, 2010

The last enemy to be destroyed is death. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:26

For a brief time, while the crucified Jesus lay in a borrowed tomb, it
seemed as if death had triumphed once again. Threatened by a messenger
of God's expansive, steadfast love, yet another human mob succumbed to
death's seduction. They chose its brutal, silencing power and trusted its
empty finality. Death's murderous rebellion against the Creator of life
seemed unstoppable.
