Sunday Sermon

This weeks gospel is the end of the remarkably short description that Matthew gives of the Resurrection and its aftermath. It is 20 verses long from the Resurrection to the end. In this chapter Christ organizes his church, using as authority "All power is given to me in heaven and earth."

The universe was overwhelming to the Old World; now that we understand it better, it only has become more so. It is so vast. And now may be multiple. What being could control it? What power would be necessary?

Enough to dwarf rising from the dead??
