Jesus is Loose!
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb 
early in the morning while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. John 20:1
The teacher showed her first graders a picture of the empty tomb with the stone rolled back. “What does Jesus’ resurrection mean?” she asked. One little boy was quick to answer “Jesus is loose!”
Yes, Easter does mean Jesus is loose. He is unbound, set free. This means he can show up anywhere and anytime in our lives, as he did to those early disciples. He can show up as a cashier in the grocery store, the young man who changes the oil in our car, a coworker at the office, our doctor, a good friend or even our spouse, child or grandchild. Jesus is loose. Be on the lookout for him today. You may even find him looking back at you in your bathroom mirror.
Jesus, help me find you in the people I meet today. Help me to be you for the people I meet today.
