Reflection for May 21

Witness
Many in our world today can relate to the passion of Christ, but what to make of the resurrection of Christ amidst the killing fields that continue to be reported, even in this morning’s newspapers? If we as Christians are to have integrity and authenticity, and authority, then we must be able to give witness to the resurrection of Christ in ways that can be understood and experienced today, and among those who do not know or claim Christ as their Savior (which is the vast majority of this world).
