“I don’t preach Jesus’ story in the light of my experience, as some sort of helpful symbol or myth that is helpfully illumined by my own story of struggle and triumph. Rather, I am invited by Easter to interpret my story in the light of God’s triumph in the Resurrection. I really don’t have a story, I don’t know the significance of my little life until I read my story and view my life through the lens of the cross and resurrection. One of the things that occurs in the weekly preaching of the gospel is to lay the gospel story over our stories and reread our lives in the light of what is real now that crucified Jesus has been raised from the dead.”
William Willimon, Proclamation and Theology, Abingdon 2005, pgs 81-82.
