Seeing is (Easter A2)

This week, we hear voices who have seen the risen Christ. Peter announces the truth of the resurrection to the crowds on the day of Pentecost, that he is an eyewitness. Not only he, but David saw it and prophesied, saying

For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit.

Then we hear again from Peter, the eyewitness, shouting aloud the hope that we have because of what he saw in the resurrected Christ, an imperishable inheritance. Peter says to us:

1:8 Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Here he echos the words of the risen Christ to Thomas who wouldn't believe unless he saw.

Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe."

What do we see this week? Do we see the resurrected Christ in our midst or is it something else? Are we back to business as usual? Or does the celebration of last week Live on before our eyes?
