The
resurrection does not solve our problems about dying and death. It is not
the happy ending to our life's struggle, nor is it the big surprise that God
has kept in store for us. No, the resurrection is the expression of God's
faithfulness to Jesus and to all God's children. Through the resurrection, God
has said to Jesus, "You are indeed my beloved Son, and my love is
everlasting," and to us God has said, "You indeed are my beloved children,
and my love is everlasting." The resurrection is God's way of
revealing to us that nothing that belongs to God will ever go to waste. What
belongs to God will never get lost.
