Perhaps it is natural to wait upon a savior, to look for the hero to return. But this is no ordinary hero, this is the God-man who emptied himself to take on our humanity. The one who “so loved the world” that he made a great decent into it.
We give Him no honor by just gazing up into heaven, as if there is nothing left here for us. If we are seeking our solace in religion, could it be that we are just trying to escape?
The pascal mystery is about entering in, not opting out. To wait around for a miracle may be to avoid the real mission.
If we truly believe in the resurrection, then it should give us freedom to enter fully into our humanity.
Lets get our heads out of the clouds and get on with becoming the Christ’s body in the world.
