Service: John and the Realized Eschaton: “Written So That You Will Believe”
Day and Time
Sunday Apr 20, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
With Thomas Weisbecker and Ellen Deeb
In the Canonical Gospel of John, Easter is not just a promise of future resurrection, but a present reality. Unlike the synoptic gospels, which look to the second coming of Jesus in the future, John invites us to experience the resurrection now—not as a physical event, but as an inner transformation. John recounts the life of Jesus, not so much as a historical record, but as an allegory to help us realize spiritual truth. The supposed events of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection are not facts to believe in, but symbols that can point us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our connection to the divine. This Easter, we explore how the resurrection is not something to wait for, but something to awaken to in our hearts—here and now!
