It was now sunrise on the first day of the week. The women who had prepared the spices and oils were on their way to the burial cave. 

Luke 24:1 FNVNT

When did the resurrection happen?

It seems that it happened some time, maybe moments before dawn, maybe in the middle of the night, while it was still dark. 

Rich Villodas, a pastor in New York says this:

"Resurrection happens 'while it is still dark.'

Don't let the darkness fool you. The life we are hoping for has already been unleashed."

In the Big Story, when it was darkest, resurrection had already happened.

In our smaller story, in the dark, it's easy to lose sight of hope, of where there is possibility, of where there has already been some kind of resurrection, of where new life, beauty, goodness has already found a foothold. 

And when we can't see it, we need one another to be with us in the dark, and to see where the Light has already been at work.
