i.	Are we attentive to the Cross amidst all of our worldly concerns? If not, we are not in a position to receive the refreshment of the Resurrection.
ii.	Do we see assaults against the Resurrection for what they are? We need to be wise to the ungodly attempts to invalidate the teaching of Christ by putting obstructions against the Resurrection. So too, we need to see how these wicked plans miscarry.
iii.	Patient in our afflictions, weak in ourselves, waiting upon Christ, we too are those who receive the joy of the Resurrection.
