Rev. Liz's Talk: "An Easter Different" 🐣
Dear Beloved Ones,
I imagine most of us are quite familiar with the traditional Easter story of Jesus dying on a cross, being put in a tomb, and rising back up on the third day after his death. It's a story that is told time and time again; however, might there be more to this story?
What if the death and rising up of Jesus is more of a metaphor or allegory for our lives personally? Ellen Debenport in her article, “Easter is Our Story” writes, “The long-told story of Jesus' crucifixion, entombment, and resurrection is the story of our lives. We resonate with its loss, darkness, and new life because we cycle through the same process, time and again in our human lifetimes.”
We all experience times of loss in our lives, times of feeling like we are in limbo, and times of new beginnings and fresh starts. The Easter story reminds us that there's so much more to life and that we too can rise up in the face of anything.
Join us this Sunday for an “Easter Different” as we explore our own personal Easter as we unpack the seven last phrases of Jesus on the cross, metaphysically interpreted and made relevant for our lives today. Come enjoy a beautiful morning of inspiration, wonderful music, and your own personal Easter story of empowerment, transformation, and new life.
See you on Sunday!
With great love and gratitude always,
Rev. Liz

“Easter is not a mysterious magic show where a man is transformed into a God, but a template for the transformation of our minds, hearts, and soul.” - Rev. Dore' Patlian
Easter's inner meaning and spiritual significance is the awakening and raising to spiritual consciousness of the I AM in man, which has been dead in it's awareness of the Truth and buried in the tomb of materiality and illusions.
