b'Happy Easter, everyone. And while we are celebrating Easter very differently this year, we have hope that we can still see the power in Jesus\\u2019 resurrection \\u2014 and have our own resurrection in the midst of this pandemic.\\nToday we answer a listener question from Jeremy. He wants to clear the confusion he has in his heart regarding Paul \\u2014 he thinks that Paul condemns homosexuality. Maybe you\\u2019ve heard that too?\\nThen, we queer a text from Matthew 28:1-10. It talks about Jesus\\u2019 resurrection and how the angel delivered the news to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the tomb. We talk about how women were perfectly placed in the center of this scripture and that it\\u2019s so beautiful. We also discussed how queerness shows up in the Bible and throughout the scripture. So stay tuned and enjoy the show. Have a blessed Easter.\\nIn this episode, we talk about:\\n\\nEaster life updates from Brian and Fr.

Look, there was a great earthquake, for an angel from the Lord came down from heaven. Coming to the stone, he rolled it away and sat on it. Now his face was like lightning and his clothes as white as snow. The guards were so terrified of him that they shook with fear and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, \\u201cDon\\u2019t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He isn\\u2019t here, because he\\u2019s been raised from the dead, just as he said. Come, see the place where they laid him. Now hurry, go and tell his disciples, \\u2018He\\u2019s been raised from the dead. He\\u2019s going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.\\u2019 I\\u2019ve given the message to you.\\u201d\\nWith great fear and excitement, they hurried away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples. But Jesus met them and greeted them. They came and grabbed his feet and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, \\u201cDon\\u2019t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers that I am going into Galilee. They will see me there.\\u201d\\n\\nPhoto by\\xa0Bruno van der Kraan\\nThe post Women Take Center Stage – Matthew 28:1-10 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
