While most of know that Easter is a big day in the life the church, the day that we proclaim that Christ is Risen indeed, few realize that Easter isn't just one day, but a season. The season of Easter lasts from Easter Sunday morning until the celebration of Christ's ascension, when he rose into heaven to sit at the right hand of God. Eastertide celebrates that the resurrected Christ kept showing up in the lives of the disciples after the empty tomb, preparing them to go and proclaim the Kingdom of God in the world.
During the season of Easter, I often like to speak about discipleship - what it means to be a follower of Christ. Being a disciple is central to who we are as Christians, yet sometimes I wonder if we take time to reflect on what the word actually means. So as we being this season together, what does the word disciple mean to you and how do you live into being a Christ follower?
