Easter 2025: "Unburying Our Alleluias" - Luke 24:13-35

A sermon delivered by Rev. Marci A. Glass on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025. The scripture reading was from Luke 24:13-35. At the start of Lent, the children 'buried' an alleluia in worship. We put the word away during a season. On Easter, we bring it back. On the first Easter morning, the women went to the tomb, assuming their alleluias were going to stay buried forever.Their rabbi was dead. Their hopes and dreams, buried with him. An encounter with the angels in the empty tomb makes them reconsider what they thought they knew of death, of endings. Maybe you've buried a lot of your hopes and dreams recently too. What might the Easter story have to say to us anew this year?
