Japanese Gardens, Portland, Oregon
No this isn't a monster sand trap on some exclusive gold course. This is the Flat Garden,one of five gardens within the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon.
There is such meticulous care given to every aspect of this garden from the clipping of the shrubs to the mowing of the grass to the raking of the fine gravel.
Every detail is important.
Every detail of Jesus resurrection is important to our faith in this event.
At the end of his gospel and at the end of his account of the resurrection, John writes, "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." John 20:30-31 English Standard Version
Every detail is important because they lead us to eternal life in Christ. We might not understand how Jesus could keep himself from being recognized by people, appear behind locked doors or invite Thomas to touch his scars, but these details are critical for us to believe in Jesus resurrection.
May we stand on the veranda of life and meditate on the beauty of Jesus' resurrection and never lose that sense of awe at what he has done for us.
