What does Jesus mean in your day-to-day life? [View all]

Would you say that you experience him as "living"? If so, in what sense?

I'm trying to understand the nature of the resurrection and what it means 2000 years later, long after real expectations of Jesus's imminent, apocalyptic return have mostly become the province of fringe groups and those peddling revenge fantasies (LaHaye/Jenkins).
