Meditations from Zion

Luke 24:5b
“…the men said to them [women at the tomb], “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”

Albert Einstein has been attributed with saying that the definition of insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Perhaps today is good day for me to review what I am doing out of habit and yet, still expecting different results. Why do I have such trouble sustaining relationships? Why do I repeat myself over and over again to my children? Why am I heavier than I’d like to be? Why are we in so much debt? Why do I put too much on my “plate?”

I have been looking for living answers among the dead ones.

When Jesus disappeared from the tomb, everything changed. None of the old rules or the old ways would apply. He had told his disciples and followers that the day was coming. He had tried to prepare them, but they still weren’t ready. They couldn’t wrap their minds around the new way.

It’s time to change things up. It’s time to leave the tomb.
