When the women came to the tomb to anoint Jesus body, the angel asked them a pointed question: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” They were looking for Jesus in the wrong place. Where should we look to find the Risen Christ? According to Luke’s Gospel, we should look to find his presence with the least, the last, and the lost. And we should look to find Jesus in our own hearts if they are humble enough to receive him. Sometimes we have a pride that says, Jesus couldn’t really be present in our hearts and couldn’t really be alive and at work in our world b/c we can’t understand intellectually how he could rise from the dead, or because we can’t feel him near all the time or because life’s harder than we wish it was. But if we learn to be humble and to love the people Jesus loved, we will see his resurrected presence all around us.
