-	Easter morning, the beginning	22:04
	of a new week, the celebration of a new age,	22:07
	the anniversary of the death of death.	22:12
	Jesus is Lord, not a figure in a book, but a risen presence.	22:16
	Not a good man now dead, but the risen savior.	22:22
	The Lord is risen; he is risen indeed.	22:27
	In the power of his life-giving spirit,	22:31
	let us worship God, and to that one God,	22:34
	let us confess our sin.	22:38
	Eternal God, when our eyes are too full of our own visions,	22:53
	when our ears are too full of our own sounds,	22:59
	when our mouths are too full of our own wisdom,	23:03
	when our hearts are too full of our own concerns,	23:06
	break through, liberate us	23:10
	from the narrow worlds which constrict our soul.	23:13
	Liberate us from the fear which blinds us	23:17
	to the newness of your work on the horizon.	23:20
	Liberate us from the occupation with the trivial	23:24
	and uneasiness with what is great.	23:27
	Liberate us into the kingdom of God.	23:30
	Bring us through birth and rebirth,	23:34
	through giving and forgiving,	23:38
	through loving and loving kindness,	23:40
	through using us and preparing us for use,	23:43
	through judgment and grace into your kingdom,	23:47
	through Christ our risen Lord, amen.	23:52
	My sisters, my brothers, hear, believe the good news.	23:57
	There is no power, no person, no thing	24:04
	that can separate us from God's love.	24:08
	Come to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.	24:10
	In him we are saved, quickened, made whole again.	24:15
	On this new morning, experience God's presence.	24:21
	Savor God's grace.	24:27
	You are forgiven; you are free at last.	24:30
	Free to live life afresh and with hope.	24:35
	Let us give thanks, for God is good,	24:41
	and God's love is everlasting.	24:45
	Thanks be to God.	24:49
	By his love we have been made.	24:51
	Thanks be to God.	24:53
	By his Grace we have been made whole.	24:55
	Thanks be to God.	24:59
	By whose resurrection of Christ	25:01
	we are promised life everlasting, amen.	25:03
-	Let us pray.	25:15
	O God, you who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,	25:20
	shine into our hearts to give the light	25:26
	of the knowledge of your glory	25:29
	in the face of Jesus Christ, amen.	25:31
	The Old Testament lesson is from Exodus, chapter 14: 10-14.	25:37
	When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel	25:46
	lifted up their eyes, and behold,	25:48
	the Egyptians were marching after them,	25:52
	and they were in great fear, and the people of Israel	25:55
	cried out to the Lord, and they said to Moses	25:58
	is it because there are no graves in Egypt	26:02
	that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?	26:05
	What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?	26:10
	Is not this what we said to you in Egypt?	26:14
	Let us alone, and let us serve the Egyptians,	26:17
	for it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians	26:21
	than to die in the wilderness.	26:24
	And Moses said to the people fear not, stand firm,	26:28
	and see the salvation of the Lord,	26:33
	which he will work for you today,	26:36
	for the Egyptians whom you see today,	26:39
	you shall never see again.	26:42
	The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still.	26:45
	Here ends the reading from the Old Testament.	26:50
	The Epistle lesson is from Colossians, chapter 3:1-11.	26:55
	If then you have been raised with Christ,	27:04
	seek the things that are above	27:07
	where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.	27:09
	Set your minds on things that are above,	27:14
	not on things that are on Earth.	27:17
	For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.	27:21
	When Christ, who is our life, appears,	27:25
	then you also will appear with him in glory.	27:29
	Put to death, therefore, what is Earthly in you.	27:33
	Fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire,	27:36
	and covetousness, which is idolatry.	27:42
	On account of these the wrath of God is coming.	27:45
	In these you once walked when you lived in them,	27:49
	but now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice,	27:53
	slander, and foul talk from your mouth.	27:58
	Do not lie to one another.	28:03
	Seeing that you have put off the old nature	28:05
	with its practices and have put on the new nature,	28:07
	which is being renewed in knowledge	28:11
	after the image of its creator.	28:13
	Here there cannot be Greek and Jew,	28:16
	circumcised and uncircumcised,	28:18
	barbarian, Scythian, slave, free-man,	28:21
	but Christ is all and in all.	28:25
	Here ends the reading from the Epistle lesson.	28:29
	(choir sings)	28:46
	Will the congregation please stand	35:32
	for the reading of the Gospel lesson?	35:34
	The Gospel lesson is from Matthew, chapter 28:1-10.	35:46
	Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn	35:52
	of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene	35:55
	and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher,	35:58
	and behold, there was a great earthquake,	36:01
	for an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven	36:04
	and came and rolled back the stone and sat upon it.	36:07
	His appearance was like lightning	36:12
	and his raiment white as snow,	36:14
	and for fear of him the guards trembled	36:16
	and became like dead men, but the angel said	36:19
	to the women, do not be afraid, for I know	36:23
	that you seek Jesus who was crucified.	36:26
	He is not here, for he has risen as he said.	36:30
	Come, see the place where he lay.	36:35
	Then, go quickly and tell his disciples	36:37
	that he has risen from the dead,	36:39
	and behold, he is going before you to Galilee.	36:41
	There you will see him, lo I have told you.	36:45
	So they departed quickly from the tomb	36:49
	with fear and great joy and ran	36:51
	to tell his disciples, and behold,	36:54
	Jesus met them and said hail, and they came up	36:56
	and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.	36:59
	Then Jesus said to them, do not be afraid.	37:03
	Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee,	37:06
	and there they will see me.	37:09
	Here ends the reading from the Gospel lesson, amen.	37:12
	(organ plays)	37:17
	(choir sings)	37:25
-	So they departed quickly from the tomb	38:26
	with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.	38:29
	Let us pray.	38:35
	Open our hearts and minds, O God.	38:40
	We pray to receive once again the glory of your resurrection	38:43
	and the promise of life eternal, amen.	38:49
	What we have to do on Easter day	38:56
	is to think ourselves back into the mood	39:00
	of that first Easter morning.	39:03
	David Reed has said that the real question	39:07
	of Easter is to rediscover for ourselves	39:10
	what it is that made the disciples glad.	39:14
	You can safely bet that at first they were not glad.	39:19
	I'm afraid for many of us, having seen Passion plays,	39:25
	we all have a kind of a picture in our minds	39:30
	of women weeping and despondent disciples	39:34
	suddenly rejoicing in the fact of an empty tomb.	39:38
	Surely it was not so.	39:43
	It took a long while for the unbelievable reality	39:47
	of that event to break through.	39:52
	I am aware that all the Easter stories	39:56
	in the Gospel begin with darkness and deep sorrow.	39:59
	Stunned people were simply unable to believe	40:05
	what they had seen and felt on a hill.	40:09
	Even more so, some followers of Jesus	40:13
	had deserted him and were thoroughly ashamed.	40:17
	Peter himself had denied knowing him	40:22
	and was hiding out in the hills somewhere out of sight.	40:25
	The women came down early in the morning	40:31
	when the Sabbath was ended, the spices ready in their hands.	40:34
	They were ready to anoint his body,	40:40
	a ritual they had been denied earlier.	40:43
	It was the grave they expected, not a garden.	40:46
	It was a funeral they expected, not a festival,	40:51
	and their first reaction was not of gladness.	40:57
	It was of fear.	41:01
	It was terror.	41:02
	This mixture of fear and joy is most fully captured	41:05
	in Matthew's account of the scene at the empty tomb.	41:11
	He has carefully placed the sequence of events	41:16
	for our hearing after the crucifixion of Jesus.	41:20
	We learned through Matthew's telling of the tale	41:25
	that Joseph of Arimathea had gone to Pilot,	41:29
	had asked for the privilege of having the body of Jesus.	41:33
	And after himself wrapping it carefully	41:38
	in a line shroud, he laid it in his own tomb,	41:42
	rolling a great stone to the door of it.	41:47
	Matthew reminds us that official action was taken	41:51
	by Pilot to secure the tomb of Jesus.	41:56
	Already rumors were abroad in Jerusalem	42:00
	that Jesus's disciples would try to steal the body,	42:04
	and thus Pilot ordered a guard of soldiers to seal the stone	42:08
	and to stand watch over this particular tomb.	42:14
	Matthew wants us to sense	42:20
	the mighty presence of God at work.	42:22
	In spite of all the precautions Pilot took	42:26
	and the whole of the Roman Empire, nothing,	42:31
	absolutely nothing could prevent God's action	42:35
	in the resurrection event.	42:40
	The writer Matthew was intent on answering charges	42:43
	that the resurrection was simply a hoax,	42:47
	and so he tells us compellingly about the earthquake	42:51
	and the angel appearing who rolled away the stone.	42:56
	In fear, we learn that the guards simply became catatonic,	43:01
	but Mary Magdalene and Mary,	43:07
	mother of James and Joseph,	43:11
	were reassured by this astounding angel,	43:13
	this messenger of hope from God.	43:17
	On that first Easter morning, those women	43:22
	trudged to the tomb as if it were the dead-end	43:26
	of all the hopes they had had in Jesus.	43:31
	For them, this was the last lap in a futile race,	43:36
	the last mile in the Boston marathon,	43:41
	and no one was waiting with them.	43:45
	They were determined to cross the finish line	43:49
	to live out their dream of this Jesus.	43:52
	They would anoint the body and be done with it.	43:57
	Their love for Jesus was still strong,	44:01
	but their faith in him had been crushed,	44:05
	and suddenly, these women on their journey were shaken	44:09
	by the Earth underneath their feet,	44:15
	and an angel comes to them	44:19
	and says to them do not be afraid.	44:22
	Now the angel encourages the women again,	44:27
	and they run off, down the path	44:30
	that had surely seemed so long just a few moments before.	44:33
	Yes, they were terribly confused and terribly frightened,	44:39
	but life for them was no longer meaningless,	44:45
	and as they hurried down the road,	44:50
	Jesus was suddenly with them.	44:52
	Not dead, not hanging from the cross,	44:56
	but near, alive, greeting them	45:00
	in the same manner he always had.	45:04
	No wonder they worshipped him.	45:07
	No wonder they knelt and held him and touched him.	45:11
	Jesus released them and said do not be afraid.	45:17
	Go and tell.	45:22
	Not only was Jesus alive now,	45:26
	but these women were alive again.	45:29
	They were now running and hoping	45:33
	and laughing and wonder-filled.	45:35
	Running to the tell the disciples all they had seen.	45:39
	We learned the women hurried on their way.	45:44
	Most of the disciples through that first dismal Easter day	45:49
	were sorely miserable, but little by little,	45:55
	through the confusing and then the conflicting rumors,	46:00
	the truth,	46:05
	the truth about Jesus broke through for them,	46:07
	and then, then it is that the disciples were made glad.	46:11
	Now every Easter morning, the empty tomb	46:18
	and the resurrection confront us once again,	46:22
	and we ask the question,	46:27
	what does this cross mean?	46:30
	How do we account for it,	46:34
	this compelling attractiveness	46:37
	of the Christ who has been raised from the dead,	46:40
	and how is it that the execution	46:44
	of a young revolutionary Jew centuries ago	46:48
	has challenged our minds and haunted our hearts ever since.	46:53
	Easter for us is not simply	47:00
	the recollection of a past event.	47:03
	It is not even its representation in word and sacrament	47:07
	and pageantry as the gathered community of faith,	47:12
	for Easter somehow must celebrate	47:18
	our own participation	47:21
	in the risen life of Christ.	47:24
	That life for us as Christians is initiated in baptism.	47:27
	It is nourished in Holy Communion.	47:33
	It is born out of the struggle and suffering of community.	47:36
	It seems to me that resurrection in the Bible	47:42
	has never been a private affair	47:46
	or an individual experience, but it is	47:49
	an act of God for the people of God.	47:53
	It is first and foremost for us a sign	47:58
	of God's sovereign presence, for you see,	48:02
	the whole life story of Jesus is interpreted	48:07
	as an act of God's own self-communication,	48:11
	and the crucifixion had to be a radical calling	48:16
	into question of the validity of that word	48:21
	and that life	48:25
	by the very contemporaries of Jesus,	48:27
	and the resurrection in turn is God's vindication	48:30
	of the validity of that word and that life.	48:36

-	Christ stood for, in His earthly life,	0:03
	came clear in the resurrection.	0:07
	The body of Christ is not simply the continued influence	0:10
	of a figure in past history, or His teaching and example.	0:16
	It is rather the continuation of that same word and work	0:22
	through you and me.	0:28
	Easter, then, must celebrate our own participation	0:32
	in the risen life of Christ.	0:37
	Jesus believed in human nature.	0:41
	And that's what the cross means.	0:45
	Jesus believed in humanity so much	0:48
	that He bowed His head and died in the confidence	0:52
	that all of humanity was worth dying for.	0:56
	He actually believed that people had it in them	1:01
	to be the children of God.	1:06
	To walk the high path of life that He had opened.	1:09
	And His righteous cause He felt could be entrusted	1:14
	in faulty human hands.	1:19
	That was incredible faith.	1:22
	Is it not precisely the kind of faith	1:26
	that we need on this Easter day?	1:30
	Is the resurrection hope?	1:35
	The resurrection story a lie?	1:37
	I confess it must be true.	1:41
	Because I have known and felt and seen	1:45
	the power of the risen Christ.	1:49
	How many, many times have I witnessed	1:52
	the breaking of the bread of life in this community?	1:56
	How many times have we lifted up	2:02
	the cup of joy and sorrow together?	2:05
	When hopes have been dashed, successes fleeting,	2:09
	exhaustion apparent,	2:14
	disappointment and failure set in,	2:17
	when death has come for someone who is loved so very much,	2:21
	life becomes awful.	2:27
	Life itself then seems like the worst, horrible,	2:30
	most plotting reality.	2:35
	Lent and loneliness always, always come	2:40
	before Easter morning.	2:44
	But then, the light of a loving presence,	2:48
	a caring act,	2:53
	a forgiving word breaks through.	2:55
	And Jesus proclaims to us once again,	2:59
	do not be afraid.	3:03
	Anything, anything can happen now.	3:05
	For Jesus the Christ has put an end to death and despair	3:10
	for all of us who believe in Him.	3:15
	There has been a running dialogue in the student newspaper,	3:21
	the Chronicle, recently among students	3:24
	who are deeply questioning the meaning of life.	3:28
	Coincidentally, perhaps, during Holy Week,	3:34
	it seemed to me that the logical arguments about God	3:38
	in that newspaper became so focused and intense.	3:43
	Declarations of belief in God and unbelief	3:49
	are being made all around us.	3:54
	Meanwhile, I am aware that some people	3:59
	are taking their faith very seriously.	4:02
	And living out of the power of the resurrection.	4:07
	While other 11 year olds are doing homework, or watching TV,	4:12
	Trevor Farrell and his parents	4:18
	have been spending their evenings	4:21
	ministering to derelicts in the City of Brotherly Love.	4:23
	For dozens of street people in Philadelphia,	4:29
	the appearance of the Farrell van with food, warm clothes,	4:33
	pillows, and blankets, and mostly human love and contact	4:38
	is a slant of light in the darker side	4:44
	of these people's lives.	4:48
	That all started, my friends,	4:51
	when Trevor saw a TV news segment last December	4:54
	about the city's homeless.	4:59
	He says, "I couldn't believe that people lived that way.	5:02
	"I knew there were some poor people,	5:07
	"but I thought they were in India, not here."	5:09
	New life, new hope has blossomed from the efforts	5:14
	of one small boy	5:19
	who is taking seriously Jesus's command	5:22
	to love, identify with, and help the poor.	5:25
	For nearly three years now,	5:32
	a ragtag band of women demonstrators	5:34
	have been capturing headlines around the world	5:38
	simply by camping just outside the gate	5:41
	to protest deployment of U.S. made missiles.	5:46
	This week, British police converged on them at the main gate	5:51
	of the Royal Air Force Base at Greenham Common.	5:55
	And I've learned that at week's end	6:00
	groups of women had already returned	6:02
	to the perimeter of the Air Base	6:05
	with their sleeping bags and provisions.	6:08
	Could it be, could it be	6:12
	that their actions,	6:17
	seemingly insignificant, are the mouths of babes	6:18
	speaking wisdom to our own human folly	6:23
	and bent toward self destruction?	6:27
	Nothing, nothing has changed so many lives	6:33
	as Calvary and the cross.	6:37
	For it represents to me	6:41
	an unbelievable faith in humankind.	6:43
	If you have lost faith in yourself, He hasn't.	6:48
	If you have lost faith in people, He hasn't.	6:54
	If you have lost confidence in the future, He hasn't.	6:58
	Jesus never lost faith in people.	7:03
	He never despaired of human nature.	7:07
	Nor in the future.	7:11
	Nor in the triumph of His own cause,	7:13
	the righteousness of God.	7:17
	Not even at the cross where He was beaten down	7:20
	by the same kind of brutality	7:25
	that is making cynics of people like you and me today.	7:28
	On this Easter day, we need to hear again	7:34
	and proclaim joyfully with the disciples	7:38
	who were able to come to the place of joy.	7:42
	We proclaim aloud with Christians everywhere.	7:46
	Low, it is Jesus who meets Thee, risen from the tomb.	7:51
	Lovingly He greets thee.	7:56
	Scatters fear and gloom.	7:59
	Let His church with gladness hymns of triumph sing.	8:02
	For the Lord now liveth.	8:07
	Death has lost its sting.	8:10
	Thine is the glory, risen, conquering Son.	8:13
	Endless is the victory	8:18
	Thou o'er death has won.	8:21
	Alleluia and amen.	8:25
-	Having heard God's good news declared,	8:39
	let us now unite in this historic confession	8:42
	of the Christian faith.	8:45
	(with congregation) I believe in God the Father Almighty,	8:56
	Maker of heaven and earth.	8:59
	And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.	9:02
	Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,	9:05
	born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,	9:08
	was crucified, dead, and buried.	9:13
	The third day He rose from the dead.	9:16
	He ascended into Heaven and sitteth	9:19
	at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.	9:21
	From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.	9:24
	I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,	9:28
	the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,	9:33
	the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.	9:37
	Amen.	9:41
	The Lord be with you.	9:44
-	And with your spirit.	9:45
-	Let us pray.	9:47
	Vast God, incarnate One, now the suffering Servant	10:00
	broken on the tree, now the God assaulting death	10:06
	for the sake of each of us, triumphals trumpets declare You.	10:10
	Bells, clamorous songs, all breath and tongues	10:17
	across the earth, the earth itself praise Your resurrection.	10:21
	To be praised are You, O Creating One.	10:27
	Out of Whose divine imaginings spins the cosmos.	10:30
	And this earth, whose rivers wander to the sea,	10:36
	whose valleys resound with pregnant silences,	10:40
	whose mountains are the mountains of Your divine laughter.	10:44
	Receive from us, O Lord, the joy above every joy.	10:49
	For by Your Easter You awaken all peoples	10:54
	from deathly slumber.	10:57
	Release our hearts from fear.	11:00
	Teach us the ways of Your compassion.	11:03
	And thus we give You our thanks.	11:07
	That all flesh shall stand at last, loved, forgiven,	11:10
	beckoned to dwell in the presence of the risen Christ.	11:19
	O Lord and giver of life, on this Easter morning	11:25
	cause us to see ourselves, not as of the old creation,	11:29
	but anew in the mirror of resurrection.	11:35
	Enable us to open our timid souls to the glad tidings,	11:39
	the glad tidings of this day.	11:44
	Strengthen us to live empowered	11:47
	by the energy of resurrection.	11:49
	Make us to eagerly walk as a people	11:52
	who share in the joyful noises of victory.	11:56
	Who anticipate the day when disease is conquered,	11:59
	all wars ended, and hatred is no more,	12:04
	and every selfish concern is crowded out by Your presence.	12:09
	O wooing One, Who intends that every moment	12:17
	be alive with Easter,	12:20
	enter our prayers that we speak as a resurrection people,	12:23
	longing, hoping, expecting what we ask.	12:28
	Do keep our concerns worthy of our calling.	12:35
	Make our flesh and wills ready to act on our words.	12:40
	And be unto all who are afflicted their source of mercy.	12:46
	That the aches and fevers of the body may be healed.	12:52
	The mind's dark terrors made to flee.	12:56
	The heart's loneliness vanished.	13:01
	And as we pray to You for all in the world	13:05
	that requires mending, we ask especially	13:07
	that the world be rebuked, chastened,	13:12
	loved into discovering again its true purpose	13:16
	in praising You and loving all others.	13:20
	Through Jesus the Christ, our risen redeeming Lord,	13:26
	and the One Who gives to His sisters and brothers	13:31
	this prayer:	13:34
	(with congregation) Our Father Who art in Heaven,	13:36
	hallowed be Thy name.	13:40
	Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done	13:42
	on earth as it is in Heaven.	13:46
	Give us this day our daily bread.	13:49
	And forgive us our trespasses	13:52
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	13:54
	And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.	13:58
	For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,	14:03
	and the glory forever.	14:07
	Amen.	14:10

Title:

Charlene P. Kammerer - "Thine Is the Glory" Easter Service 8:30 am (April 22, 1984)

Description:

While the event of the resurrection begins in despair, it is Jesus' ultimate affirmation of humankind. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Sermon start time: (Part 1) 38:26. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 08:29.
Key quotation: “Nothing has changed so many lives as Calvary and the cross, for it represents a sublime unbelievable faith in humankind. If you have lost faith in yourself, He hasn’t. If you’ve lost faith in people, He hasn’t. If you’ve lost confidence in the future, He hasn’t. Jesus never lost faith in people. He never despaired of human nature, nor in the future, nor in the triumph of his cause, not even at the cross.”
