It does not get any better

I love the Easter Vigil. It is the highlight of the year. We are celebrating an event that nobody saw: Jesus coming out of the tomb. All we know is that the tomb is empty by Sunday morning. The most private moment between Father, Son and the Spirit. A glorious reunion. Humans have seen the Son from birth, walked with him, saw him die. Humans will see him ascend to heaven. But they don't see him now, not this moment, not the moment when he walks out of the tomb. His life now takes on a new dimension. He will soon sit at the right hand of the Father. As the firstborn he will give us the the double portion of his inheritance. The Spirit from the Son and from the Father. How could the Father deny him now?
