A short story as a metaphor for Easter:
A little boy came to his father and wanted to play with him. Now he had no time for the boy and no desire for the game. So he pondered, which he could deal with the boys.
He found in a magazine a complicated and detailed illustration of the earth. he tore out this picture and then zerschnipselte it into many small pieces. He gave the boy and thought, that whether with this difficult puzzle probably a busy all the time.
The boy withdrew into a corner and began to puzzle. After a few minutes he came to his father and showed him the finished composite image.
The father could not believe it and asked his son, how he had managed the.
The child said: “but, on the back of a man was ready. Which I have assembled correctly. And when the man in order, It was also the world.”
When it comes not in our Easter? God brings the world back in order, by bringing the people back in order and reconciled with itself. The Destroyed, torn, the Disfigured is reassembled - salvation is made and has far-reaching effects beyond. Resurrection has many faces, the most important, however, is that, where we are as a people whole again. Where do we begin our masks and coats store, know ourselves and stand by. Only then the destroyed world we can all be back.
A thought, looking at the history of the resurrection even from an entirely different angle.
A blessed and peaceful Easter!
