The Emmaus Christ, beyond our control

	Jesus is among us now in a new way as the Risen Christ, the Christ who is everywhere, beyond all limits of space and time. On Good Friday we saw the relationship of all humanity to God. We kill what we should love. We're afraid of the gift that would free us. On Easter Sunday we celebrate Jesus coming back into a world that rejected him. God had to come back in a disguised form. God had to come back, as it were, secretly, as a subversive, hidden—the Risen Christ. That's the Christ who energizes his Church, the Christ forever beyond our control. from Richard Rohr Radical Grace: Daily Meditations
