In our time and place the bodily Resurrection in Christ is called into question by many. And even among those who believe that Christ did indeed rise bodily from the dead, most don’t seem to think the Resurrection has anything to do with them. In his reflection for Easter Sunday, Tony affirms the bodily Resurrection of Christ as the central tenet of the Christian faith, and explains why it has everything to do with our lives beginning right here and right now.
