For the majority of my life, I joyfully sang "Christ, the Lord is Risen Today ~ Hallelujah!" along with a body of worshipers. It was tradition & it was joyous ! (It was so meaningful, I thought of singing that at my wedding but, we opted for the "Hallelujah Chorus"). Singing this & knowing Christians all around the globe were joining in the same praises gave me a connection to other believers...but more specifically, it gave me a connection to the Grand Design of our Father in Christ. It was me He died & rose again for, but in the glorious moments of worship & praise along with other believers, I realized how many "me's" there are....He did this for all of us.
Last year, as I joined n the praise & worship with my fellow believers, I was struck by a whole new notion.... We wrestle with God's time & His timing, with predestination, with God already knowing what is yet to come...suppose time isn't linear at all. Suppose it sort of all happens at once. Suppose, as we sing praises to our God & King on Easter morning, suppose *WE* are the heavenly voices raising song to our risen Lord alongside the empty tomb!?! Just suppose...
