-	Easter morning.	30:40
	The beginning of a new week.	30:42
	The celebration of a new age.	30:44
	The anniversary of the death of death.	30:47
	Jesus is lord, not a figure in a book,	30:51
	but a living presence.	30:55
	Not a good man now dead, but the risen savior.	30:57
	The lord is risen, he is risen indeed.	31:02
	In the power of his life-giving spirit,	31:07
	let us worship God, and to that one God,	31:09
	let us confess our sin.	31:13
	Eternal God, when our eyes are too full of our own visions,	31:31
	when our ears are too full of our own sounds,	31:37
	when our mouths are too full of our own wisdom,	31:40
	when our hearts are too full of our own concerns,	31:44
	break through.	31:47
	Liberate us from the narrow worlds which constrict our soul.	31:49
	Liberate us from the fear which blinds us	31:54
	to the newness of your work on the horizon.	31:57
	Liberate us from the occupation with the trivial	32:01
	and uneasiness with what is great.	32:04
	Liberate us into the kingdom of God.	32:07
	Bring us through birth and rebirth,	32:10
	through giving and forgiving,	32:13
	through loving and loving kindness,	32:16
	through using us and preparing us for use,	32:19
	through judgment and grace, into your kingdom,	32:23
	through Christ, our risen lord, amen.	32:27
	My sisters, my brothers, here, believe the good news.	32:33
	There is no power, no person, no thing,	32:39
	that can separate us from the love of God come to us	32:43
	in Christ, Jesus our lord.	32:46
	In him, we are redeemed, quickened, made whole again.	32:49
	On this new morning, experience God's presence.	32:55
	Savor God's grace.	33:00
	You are forgiven.	33:03
	You are free at last.	33:05
	Free to live life afresh, and with hope.	33:08
	Let us give thanks, for God is good,	33:14
	and God's love is everlasting.	33:17
	Thanks be to God, by whose love we have been made.	33:20
	Thanks be to God, by whose grace we have been made whole.	33:24
	Thanks be to God, by whose resurrection of Christ,	33:29
	we are promised life everlasting, amen.	33:33
	Let us pray.	33:45
	Oh God, you who commanded the light to shine	33:51
	out of darkness, shine into our hearts	33:54
	to give the light of the knowledge of your glory	33:58
	in the face of Jesus Christ, amen.	34:01
	The Old Testament lesson is from Exodus,	34:07
	chapter 14, verses 10-14.	34:09
	When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel	34:14
	lifted up their eyes and behold,	34:17
	the Egyptians were marching after them,	34:20
	and they were in great fear.	34:23
	And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord,	34:25
	and they said to Moses, is it because	34:28
	there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken	34:31
	us away to die in the wilderness?	34:33
	What have you done to us, in bring us out of Egypt?	34:36
	Is not this what we said to you in Egypt?	34:41
	Let us alone, and let us serve the Egyptians,	34:44
	for it would have been better for us	34:47
	to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.	34:49
	And Moses said to the people, fear not, stand firm,	34:53
	and see the salvation of the lord,	34:58
	which he will work for you today.	35:01
	For the Egyptians whom you see today,	35:04
	you shall never see again.	35:06
	The lord will fight for you,	35:09
	and you have only to be still.	35:11
	Here ends the reading from the Old Testament.	35:14
	The epistle lesson is from Colossians chapter three,	35:19
	versus 1-11.	35:23
	If then you have been raised with Christ,	35:26
	seek the things that are above, where Christ is,	35:30
	seated at the right hand of God.	35:33
	Set your minds on things that are above,	35:36
	not on things that are on Earth.	35:39
	For you have died, and your life	35:41
	is hid with Christ and God.	35:44
	When Christ, who is our life appears,	35:47
	then you also will appear with him in glory.	35:50
	Put to death therefore what is earthly in you.	35:53
	Fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire,	35:56
	and covetousness, which is idolatry.	36:01
	On account of these, the wrath of God is coming.	36:04
	In these you once walked, when you lived in them,	36:08
	but now put them all away.	36:11
	Anger, wrath, malice, slander,	36:14
	and foul talk from your mouth.	36:18
	Do not lie to one another.	36:20
	Seeing that you have put off the old nature	36:23
	with its practices, and have put on the new nature,	36:25
	which is being renewed in the knowledge	36:28
	after the image of its creator.	36:31
	Here there cannot be Greek and Jew,	36:33
	circumcised and uncircumcised.	36:36
	Barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man.	36:39
	But Christ is all, and in all.	36:43
	Here ends the reading from the epistle lesson.	36:47
	(choir and orchestra)	36:59
	Will the congregation please stand,	43:38
	for the reading of the gospel lesson.	43:39
	The gospel lesson is from Matthew,	43:48
	chapter 28, verses 1-10.	43:50
	Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn	43:56
	of the first day of the week,	43:58
	Mary Magdalene and the other Mary	44:01
	went to see the sepulcher.	44:02
	And behold, there was a great earthquake,	44:04
	for an angel of the lord descended from heaven,	44:07
	and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.	44:10
	His appearance was like lightning,	44:14
	and his raiment white as snow.	44:16
	And for fear of him, the guards trembled,	44:19
	and became like dead men.	44:21
	But the angel said to the women, do not be afraid,	44:24
	for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified.	44:28
	He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.	44:32
	Come, see the place where he lay,	44:37
	then go quickly and tell his disciples	44:40
	that he has risen from the dead.	44:42
	And behold, he is going before you to Galilee.	44:44
	There you will see him.	44:48
	Lo, I have told you.	44:50
	So they departed quickly from the tomb	44:52
	with fear and great joy, and ran	44:54
	to tell his disciples.	44:57
	And behold, Jesus met them, and said hail,	44:59
	and they came up and took hold of his feet,	45:03
	and worshiped him.	45:05
	Then Jesus said to them, do not be afraid,	45:07
	go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee,	45:11
	and there they will see me.	45:14
	Here ends the reading from the gospel lesson, amen.	45:17
	(orchestra and choir together)	45:22
-	And so they departed quickly from the tomb,	46:29
	with fear and great joy, and ran to tell the disciples.	46:32
	Let us pray.	46:38
	Open our hearts and minds, oh God, we pray	46:43
	to receive once again the glory	46:46
	of the resurrection experience,	46:49
	and the promise of life eternal.	46:51
	In Christ's name we pray, amen.	46:54
	What we have to do on--	47:00

	is to take ourselves back into the mood	0:03
	of that first Easter morning.	0:06
	David Reed has said, that the real question of Easter	0:10
	is to rediscover for ourselves what it is,	0:14
	that made the disciples glad.	0:18
	You can safely bet, that they were not glad at first.	0:21
	I'm afraid, that many of us having seen passion plays	0:26
	all have a kind of picture in our minds	0:31
	of these weeping women and despondent disciples	0:35
	suddenly rejoicing in the fact of an empty tomb.	0:39
	Surely, it was not so.	0:44
	It took a long while for this	0:47
	unbelievable reality to break through.	0:51
	All the Easter stories in the gospels begin	0:56
	not with gladness and joy, but with sorrow	1:00
	and deep darkness.	1:05
	Stunned people were unable to accept what they had seen	1:07
	and felt, and heard on a hill.	1:12
	Moreover, Jesus followers had deserted him	1:15
	and many of them were thoroughly ashamed.	1:19
	Peter himself had denied knowing him	1:23
	and was hiding out somewhere in the night	1:26
	far off into the hills.	1:29
	The women came down early in the morning,	1:33
	when the sabbath was ended	1:36
	with the spices ready in their hands.	1:38
	They were ready to anoint his body,	1:41
	a ritual they had been denied earlier.	1:45
	It was the grave they came to see, not a garden.	1:48
	It was a funeral they expected, not a festival.	1:53
	And their first reaction was not gladness,	1:58
	it was a fear akin to terror.	2:01
	This very mixture of fear and joy	2:05
	is most fully captured	2:09
	in Matthew's accounts of the scene at the empty tomb.	2:11
	He has carefully placed for us the sequence of events	2:16
	following the crucifixion of Jesus.	2:21
	He reminds us, that Joseph of Arimathea had gone to Pilate	2:25
	and asked for the privilege of having the body of Jesus.	2:30
	After himself wrapping the body in a linen shroud,	2:36
	he laid it in his own tomb, rolling a great stone	2:40
	over the front of it.	2:45
	Matthew also tells us, that official action was taken	2:47
	by Pilate to secure that particular tomb.	2:51
	Already, rumors were abroad, that Jesus' disciples	2:57
	would try to steal the body.	3:00
	And thus a guard of soldiers was ordered	3:03
	to seal the stone and to guard the tomb.	3:06
	Matthew wants us desperately to sense the mighty presence	3:11
	of God at work in spite of all the precautions,	3:16
	that the Pilate took, with all the resources	3:21
	of the Roman empire, Matthew tells us,	3:25
	that nothing, absolutely nothing could prevent	3:29
	the action of God in this resurrection.	3:33
	The writer Matthew was intent on answering charges,	3:38
	that the resurrection was a hoax.	3:42
	And so he tells us about the earthquake	3:45
	and the angel appearing, who rolled away the stone.	3:49
	In fear, he tells us the guards quickly became catatonic.	3:54
	But Mary Magdalene and Mary,	4:00
	mother of Joseph and James	4:03
	were reassured by this angel.	4:06
	This messenger of hope sent by God.	4:10
	On that first Easter morning, the women trudged	4:14
	to the tomb as if it were the dead end	4:19
	of all the hopes they had stores of in Jesus.	4:23
	For them, it was the last lap in a feudal wraith,	4:27
	the last mile in the Boston marathon	4:32
	and no one was waiting for them.	4:36
	They were determined to cross the finish line,	4:39
	to live their dream of this man, Jesus.	4:43
	And so, they came, they would anoint the body	4:48
	and be done with it.	4:51
	Their love for Jesus was still strong,	4:54
	but their fath in him was crushed.	4:57
	And suddenly, for these women, the earth shakes	5:01
	beneath their feet and an angel comes,	5:05
	urging them to take courage, do not be afraid.	5:08
	And again, the angel encourages the women	5:14
	and they run off down the path, that seemed so long	5:18
	just a few moments before.	5:23
	Yes, they were terribly confused and terribly frightened,	5:26
	but life for them was no longer meaningless.	5:31
	As they hurried down that road,	5:36
	suddenly Jesus was with them	5:40
	not dead, not hanging from a cross,	5:43
	but near, alive,	5:48
	greeting them as he had so often done before.	5:50
	No wonder they worshiped him,	5:55
	no wonder they bent down	5:58
	and knelt, and touched him, and held him.	6:01
	Jesus released them saying to them,	6:05
	do not be afraid, go and tell.	6:09
	Not only was Jesus alive,	6:13
	but these women were alive again.	6:16
	For they were now running and hoping and laughing,	6:20
	and filled with wonder again.	6:24
	They were running to tell the disciples all they had seen.	6:26
	These women hurried on their way.	6:31
	Most of the disciples through that first dismal Easter day	6:36
	were sorely miserable.	6:42
	But little by little, trough confusing and then conflicting	6:44
	rumors and reports, the truth about this Jesus	6:49
	broke through and then, finally, finally,	6:55
	were the disciples made glad.	7:00
	Every Easter morning, the empty tomb and the resurrection	7:05
	come again to confront us and we ask the question,	7:10
	what does the cross mean?	7:15
	How do we account for it, this compelling attractiveness	7:19
	of Jesus, the Christ.	7:24
	And how is it, that the execution of a young revolutionary	7:27
	Jew centuries ago has challenged our minds	7:32
	and haunted our hearts ever since.	7:37
	Easter for us is not simply	7:42
	a recollection of a past event.	7:45
	It is not even in its representation in word	7:49
	and sacrament and pageantry	7:54
	the gathered community of faith.	7:57
	Easter somehow for us, by celebrating our own participation	8:00
	in the rhythm life of Jesus Christ.	8:06
	That life for us, as Christians, is initiated	8:10
	in baptism, nourished in holy communion	8:13
	and born out of the struggle and suffering of community.	8:18
	It seems to me, that resurrection in the Bible	8:23
	has never been a private affair or an individual experience,	8:27
	but is this act of God for the whole people of God.	8:33
	It is first and foremost for us a sign	8:39
	of God's sovereign presence.	8:42
	For the whole life story of Jesus is interpreted	8:46
	as an act of God's own self communication to the world	8:50
	and the crucifixion was a radical calling into question	8:56
	of the validity of that very word and that life	9:01
	by the contemporaries of Jesus.	9:06
	The resurrection in turn is God's vindication	9:10
	of the validity of that word and that life.	9:14
	All, that Christ stood for in his earthly life	9:20
	came clear in the resurrection experience.	9:24
	The body of Christ for us is not the continued influence	9:28
	of a figure in past history or teaching,	9:33
	or example of his life.	9:36
	It is rather the continuation of that same word and work	9:39
	through you and through me.	9:44
	Easter then celebrates our own participation	9:49
	in the risen life of Christ.	9:54
	Jesus believed in human nature,	9:57
	that's what the cross means.	10:01
	Jesus believed in humanity so much,	10:04
	that he bowed his head and died in the confidence,	10:08
	that all of humanity was worth dying for.	10:13
	He actually believed, that people had it in them	10:18
	to be the children of God.	10:24
	To walk the high path of life he had opened	10:27
	and that his righteous cause could be entrusted	10:31
	in our faulty human hands.	10:35
	That was incredible faith	10:39
	and is it not precisely	10:43
	the kind of faith, that you and I need this Easter day?	10:46
	Is this resurrection story, the resurrection hope a lie?	10:52
	I confess it must be true, because I have known	10:59
	and felt and seen the power of the risen Christ.	11:04
	How many, many times have I witnessed the breaking	11:09
	of the bread of life among the members of this community.	11:15
	How many times have we lifted up together	11:20
	the cup of sorrow and of joy.	11:25
	When hopes were dashed, successes fleeting,	11:29
	exhaustion apparent,	11:33
	disappointment and failure set in.	11:36
	When death comes for someone you love very much,	11:40
	life becomes awful,	11:45
	life itself seems at times	11:48
	like the worst horrible plotting reality.	11:51
	Lent and loneliness always come to us	11:56
	before Easter morning.	12:01
	But then, the light of a loving	12:05
	presence comes through	12:09
	a caring act,	12:12
	a forgiving word and Jesus says,	12:14
	do not be afraid, anything can happen now.	12:18
	Jesus the Christ put an end to death and despair	12:24
	for those of us, who believe in him.	12:29
	I've noticed, that there has been a recent running dialogue	12:34
	in the student paper, the chronicle.	12:39
	Students have been deeply questioning	12:42
	the very meaning of life and doing so in that context.	12:45
	Coincidentally, perhaps or not, during holy week	12:51
	it seemed to me, that the logical arguments	12:56
	about God became rather focused and intense.	12:59
	Declaration of belief in God and unbelief	13:05
	have been made all around us.	13:10
	Meanwhile, I am aware, that some people are taking	13:14
	their faith very seriously	13:19
	and living out of the power of the resurrection.	13:22
	While other 11 year olds are doing homework	13:27
	or watching TV, a little boy named Trevor Ferrell	13:30
	and his parents are spending their evenings	13:35
	ministering to Derelicts in the city of brotherly love.	13:39
	For dozens of street people in Philadelphia	13:44
	the appearance of the Ferrell van with food, clothes,	13:48
	pillow and blanket and mostly human love and touch	13:53
	is a slant of light in an existence,	13:59
	that is mostly dark in their lives.	14:03
	Now, this all started when Trevor saw a news segment	14:06
	last December on the city's plight of the homeless.	14:11
	He says, I couldn't believe, that people lived that way.	14:16
	I knew there were some poor people,	14:22
	but I thought they were in India, not here.	14:25
	New life, new hope has blossomed from the efforts	14:29
	of one small boy, who is taking quite seriously	14:35
	Jesus commandment to love, to identify with	14:40
	and to help the poor.	14:46
	For nearly three years now a ragtag band	14:50
	of women demonstrators have captured headlines	14:53
	around the world by camping just outside a gate	14:57
	to protest the deployment of US made missiles.	15:03
	This week British police converged on them	15:07
	at the main gate at the royal air force base	15:11
	at Greenham Common.	15:14
	And at week's end I learned, that the same groups	15:16
	of women had returned to the perimeter of the air base	15:20
	with their sleeping bags and provisions.	15:24
	Could it be, just could it be possible,	15:28
	that their actions seemingly insignificant to us	15:33
	in the United States are the mouths of babes	15:38
	speaking wisdom to our own human folly,	15:42
	that seems to be bent on self destruction.	15:46
	I am aware, that nothing has changed so many lives	15:52
	as the story of Calvary and the happening of the cross,	15:57
	for to me, it represents a sublime,	16:03
	unbelievable faith in human kind.	16:06
	If you have lost faith in yourself, he hasn't.	16:10
	If you have lost faith in other people, he hasn't.	16:15
	If you have lost confidence in the future, he hasn't.	16:20
	Jesus never lost faith in people,	16:25
	he never despaired	16:29
	of human nature nor in the future, nor in the triumph	16:31
	of his righteous cause.	16:36
	Not even at the cross, where he was beaten down	16:39
	by the same kind of brutality, that is making cynics	16:45
	of people like you and me today.	16:50
	On this Easter day	16:55
	let us join together joyfully	16:57
	to proclaim with Christians everywhere	17:01
	the story and the promise of Easter.	17:04
	Low Jesus meets thee risen from the tomb,	17:08
	lovingly he greets thee scattering fear and gloom.	17:13
	Let his church with gladness hymns of triumph bring,	17:19
	for the lord now liveth, death has lost its sting.	17:24
	Thine is the glory risen conquering sun.	17:29
	Endless is the victory thou in death hast won.	17:34
	Hallelujah and amen.	17:40
-	We have god's good news declared,	17:55
	let us now unite together in this historic confession	17:58
	of the Christian faith.	18:01
	I believe in God, the father almighty,	18:13
	maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,	18:16
	his only son, our lord.	18:19
	Who was conceived by the holy spirit,	18:22
	born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,	18:24
	was crucified dead and buried.	18:29
	The third day he rose from the dead,	18:32
	he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand	18:35
	of God, the father almighty.	18:38
	From then he shall come to judge the quick and the dead,	18:40
	I believe in the holy spirit, the holy Catholic church,	18:44
	the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,	18:49
	the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting, amen.	18:53
	The lord be with you.	18:59
-	And with you too.	19:01
-	Let us pray.	19:03
	Vast God,	19:16
	incarnate one,	19:18
	now, the suffering servant broken on the tree,	19:21
	now, the God assaulting death for the sake of each of us.	19:25
	Triumphals trumpets declare you.	19:29
	Bells clamor the songs all breath and tongues	19:34
	across the earth, the earth itself praise your resurrection.	19:37
	To be praised are you, oh, creating one	19:44
	out of who's divine imaginings spins the cosmos.	19:47
	And this earth, who's river's wander to the sea,	19:52
	who's valleys resound with pregnant silences.	19:56
	Who's mountains are the mountains of your divine laughter.	20:01
	Receive from us, oh, lord, the joy,	20:05
	that transcends every joy.	20:08
	For by your Easter, you awaken all peoples	20:11
	from deathly slumber, release our hearts from fear,	20:15
	teach us the ways of your compassion.	20:20
	Thus we give you our thanks, that all flesh	20:25
	shall stand at last, loved, forgiven,	20:30
	beckoned to dwell in the presence of the risen Christ.	20:36
	Oh, lord, and giver of life, on this Easter morning	20:42
	cause us to see ourselves not as creatures of the old order	20:47
	but anew in the mirror of the resurrection	20:53
	made in your image.	20:56
	Enable us to open our timid souls to the glad tidings	20:59
	of this day, strengthen us to live empowered	21:02
	by the energy of resurrection.	21:08
	Make us to walk as a people, who share in the joyful	21:10
	noises of victory, who anticipate the day,	21:13
	when disease has conquered and all wars ended,	21:17
	and hatred is no more.	21:22
	And every selfish concern is crowded out by your presence.	21:26
	Oh, wooing Yahweh, who intends, that every moment	21:34
	be alive with Easter, enter our prayers,	21:39
	that what we speak, we speak as a resurrection people,	21:45
	longing, hoping, expecting what we ask.	21:48
	Do keep our concerns worthy of our calling.	21:53
	Make our flesh and wills ready to act on our words.	21:58
	Be unto all, who are afflicted the resource of mercy.	22:03
	That the aches and fevers of the body may be healed.	22:08
	The mind's dark terrors made to flee,	22:12
	the heart's loneliness vanished.	22:16
	And as we pray to you for all the world,	22:20
	that requires mending, we ask especially,	22:22
	that the world be re-bute, chastened,	22:26
	loved into discovering again its true purpose.	22:30
	Praising you, embracing and loving all others.	22:35
	Through Jesus the Christ, our risen, redeeming lord	22:41
	and the one, who gives to his sisters	22:47
	and brothers this prayer.	22:49
	Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,	22:53
	thy kingdom come, thy will be done,	22:59
	on earth as it is in heaven.	23:02
	Give us this day our daily bread	23:05
	and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those,	23:09
	who trespass against us.	23:12
	And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,	23:14
	for thine is the kingdom and the power,	23:19
	and the glory, forever, amen.	23:23

Title:

Charlene P. Kammerer - "Thine Is the Glory" Easter Service 10:30 am (April 22, 1984)

Description:

Sermon start time: (Part 1): 47:00. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 17:44.
While the event of the resurrection begins in despair, it is Jesus' ultimate affirmation of humankind. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
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.”
