Easter Sunday, April 4
Matthew 28:1-10, 16-20
In The Lord of the Rings trilogy, author J.R.R. Tolkien slips glimpses of the gospel into his epic tale. In the second book, Sam meets the previously dead but now living Gandalf. Sam asks him, “Is everything sad going to come untrue?” We could ask the same question of the risen Jesus. And he may reply as Gandalf did – with laughter – “and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land.”
