People love theology,
and we could talk about theology all night,
but nobody cares.
Nobody cares about the theology of the resurrection.
Nobody cares about the substitutionary atonement.
Nobody cares about all the meaning
and layers
in this Passover Vigil.
Because,
at the end of the day,
we are all like Mary
at the tomb.
We weep.
We are alone.
We are disappointed and lost.
And we hear a familiar voice behind us.
"Woman, why are you weeping?"
And Jesus
shows us his hands and his feet
and his side
and says,
See.
I did all this for love.
