Process of Resurrection

Resurrection is not so much a fact as a process. It is a day-to-day and on-going activity accomplishing itself in the overcoming of the dying in ourselves and of the people and things around us. This refutation of deadness, however, does not permit the mere recycling of old life. Coming to life, beginning to be all over requires an entirely new life, a new way of living, something as new as the new day in which it will be breathed and exhausted, making way for what is to come next.

We don't re-live old days but rather re-vitalize the whole of life, just as the resurrected Jesus was unlike the one who had died.
