It doesn’t make sense.  We say it about one but not about the other, and the other is just as important, maybe more so.  We hear it every December: the wish that the spirit of Christmas could last year-round.  And it’s a great sentiment.  We should never lose the wonder of God’s gift to all of us in the person of Jesus Christ.  The wonder of Mary’s willingness, the angels’ joy, the shepherds’ excitement, and the wise men’s worship.  But there’s another day we observe that merits the same desire.  It’s the celebration of the resurrection of that Bethlehem baby who grew up to die for our sins.  Easter.  Resurrection Sunday.  Have you ever heard anyone say, “I wish we could have the spirit of Resurrection Sunday last year-round”?  Sometimes it seems as if once Easter is over, we roll the stone back over the mouth of the tomb until the next year, when what we truly need is to live every day in the power of His resurrection.  It’s the power that gave the early church its message and the boldness to proclaim it to the world.  It’s the power that gave the Apostle Paul purpose when he wrote “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20).  It’s the power that gave and still gives hope in the words, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).  It’s the power that gives us victory over sin, because “like as Christ was raised up from the dead…even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).  It’s the power that defines our pursuit of spiritual growth as Paul states, “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection” (Philippians 3:10).  And the list could go on.  So as we leave Resurrection Sunday 2023 behind, let’s understand that the stone is still rolled away, the tomb is still empty, and Christ still lives.  Take the principle of His resurrection power to heart and live out the practicality of all it means.  Christ is risen; He is risen indeed!
