All good questions, especially for anyone who calls himself/herself “Christian,” and it is very hard to argue with her conclusion. Holy Mother Church has dropped the ball on this and God’s people suffer as a result. Lord have mercy. For those with ears to hear, listen and understand.

Why is it that so many people flock to the churches on Easter Day, listen to the message that Jesus has been raised from the dead, receive their Easter Communion, and then don’t return? If you were invited to dinner with someone who had risen from the dead and they asked you to come again the following week, wouldn’t you want to go? Especially if you were assured of participation in that new and risen life, wouldn’t you want to come back more than anything else you might be invited to do? Who would lie in bed and watch Meet the Press if they could receive eternal life? As I thought about this, it occurred to me that the reason people don’t come back on the Sunday after Easter is that they don’t really believe that anything unusual has taken place. Something nice, maybe; something cheerful and up-lifting; but not an honest-to-God resurrection from the dead.
