In college chapel today Rev. Ray Silverman read Arcana Coelestia 2405:7 which talks about how the Easter story can happen in each person's life.
As... the “morning” signifies the Lord, His advent, and thus the approach of His kingdom, it is evident what it signifies besides, namely, the rise of a new church (for this is the Lord's kingdom on earth), and this both... when any church on the globe is being raised up anew; [and] when a man is being regenerated, and being made new.... Hence the Lord's resurrection on the third day in the morning involves all these things (even in the particular and the least particular) in regard to His rising again in the minds of the regenerate every day, and even every moment.I would love to read more about the internal meaning of the Easter story so if you know of a good passage that talks about some detail of the story please leave a comment on this post.
