The Christian story is a story told in the image of a frail, elderly man – unable to walk on his own – sitting in the shadow of the resurrection, a reminder that death has been conquered – pain and sorrow have been vanquished – sin has been destroyed – now, in this life, and in the life to come. We may not be able to see it clearly, but this we believe – because God himself has promised us.
