John 20:1-18: When John talks about "believing" in the Resurrection, he is talking about relying on it, trusting it, as though our lives depended on it. There are many paths to "believing" or trusting, as John, Mary and the beloved disciple show us. One path is practicing resurrection, because as Henri Nouwen said, “You don’t think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.” Practicing resurrection means practicing partnering with God in transforming despair into hope, apathy into compassion, hate into love, and death into new life.
