1. When the Grave Is in Grave Danger by Alan Allegra  
   Resurrection Day, commonly called âEaster,â is nigh. The seeds that have been buried in the ground are coming out of hiding, and the ferns are unfolding. The suburban landscape is bursting with plastic, pretend bunnies, chicks, and eggs, impostors that have no real life in them.
   As the season approaches, another story unfolds â" a story of a man who was buried and came out of hiding, separating himself from the impostors by bringing new life to the world. This is the story of the gospel, a word that means, âgood news.â Letâs allow the apostle Paul to explain what we mean.
