Have you heard the good news?

Jesus has risen!

With much enthusiasm, Brian, a high school senior religion teacher, asks this question every year to random students on the first day back to school after Easter. He gets three types of responses. The first type is “glory, alleluia!” The second type is, “oh yeah, right,” and the wind seems to go out of their sails of excitement. And the third type of response is “oh yeah, I forgot,” and then they smile.

You can tell by their response (especially in body language) whether someone is of this world, or in this world, or somewhere in between.

What was your response?
