Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the most wonderful time of the year!

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the one who willingly followed God’s plan for salvation which saw him crucified, dead and buried has indeed risen, has come back to life again.

We are completely right to be celebrating. Death which we all know is our inevitable journey, death has been defeated. When Jesus said that we are to follow him, he now proves that the way to heaven and eternal life, although it will mean that we will still die, also means that those who believe in and follow Jesus, can live beyond death.

In God’s power and for God’s glory, for those who believe in Jesus, death is not the end; God has shown his power to resurrect those he chooses.

This is worthy of the greatest celebration! The world around us may not know what they are celebrating – really are they celebrating the coming of a rabbit? – but I’m happy that at Easter they are celebrating.

Isaiah reminds us that God’s good news is not for the rich or the powerful or for those who appear to have it all now. Easter is great news for those who long for God’s rescue from pain and suffering and poverty and oppression and grief.

As I celebrate, as I rejoice, as I praise and thank God for his power and his love; I try to explain to those around me the meaning of the symbols. I will enjoy hot cross buns as a reminder of Jesus’s death on a cross, he died for me with my sins on his shoulders – without the cross there is no Easter victory. As I enjoy Easter eggs I happily remind people that this is not some pagan fertility rabbit symbol but the empty egg is a symbol of an empty tomb.

Easter eggs are a reminder that my hope of living with God in heaven has a real, historical, factual basis. Jesus really did rise from the dead nearly 2000 years ago in Roman occupied Jerusalem.

May the hope, relief, and love of God be your absolute joy this Easter,
