The Bread and the Cup

Peter invites us into this what I've been calling the stubborn Christian belief that regardless of the pain and the horror of human history or the last 21 days a disciple of Jesus is somebody who refuses to believe. And it's because of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Why on earth should my life hope and the hope of the universe hinge on somebody else's resurrection from the dead? If I'm hoping for something beyond death shouldn't it be my resurrection from the Dead? It doesn't begin there. Where it begins is my hope is built on something outside of myself something that happened to Jesus.
