What is the meaning of the resurrection?

Here in the South
going to church is serious business
and being a Christian
is a part of
life

and what does it mean to be
a Christian?

well,
to some people it means
what you believe.

to me it means:
can you love your enemies
and forgive those who
supposedly have "hurt" you

and this
for starters
is what the resurrection
is about:

"dying" to our story
about how bad/ awful/ hurtful/ wrong
the other person
was

and resurrecting
in the "kingdom of heaven"
where we can love
anyone
and everyone

even the bad/ awful/ hurtful / wrong
person
