Easter is a claim—specific, historical, and uncomfortable—that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, buried, and three days later was bodily raised from the dead. The earliest Christians didn't treat this as a metaphor for new beginnings. They treated it as a fact that changed everything—how they lived, what they feared, what they were willing to lose.
It's worth asking whether they were right. The resurrection wasn't announced as a private spiritual experience—it was a public claim, disputed immediately, staked on the testimony of people who had every reason to recant and didn't. The question of whether it actually happened is a real historical question. We think it deserves a honest look.
Which means Easter is worth more than one morning a year, but one morning is a place to start! So come. Sit with the question alongside people who are still working through what it means that the tomb was empty — and trying to live accordingly.
