EASTER SUNDAY
The Resurrection is at the core of the Good
News. It is the cornerstone of Christian
doctrine. This is the Christians greatest
day. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, life
is absurd. But the stone is rolled away, the
tomb is empty, the linen cloth is lying on the
ground, the disciples see and believe and the
course of human history is changed. Now
the impossible is possible, the unreachable
becomes reachable and all our sunsets turn
into dawn. The resurrection is why we don’t
give up. It assures us that there is more to life
than meets the eye. We are going somewhere.
There is more beyond. On this Easter Day
2026 we take special note of the fact that He
rose at the darkest hour just before the dawn,
a timely and welcome reminder to our bruised
and troubled world that when all seems lost,
resurrection is near. His first words after His
resurrection ‘do not be afraid’ are even more
pertinent and we take heart anew. Let us
own the story again. Let us share it. Let us be
excited by it. Let it lift our flagging spirits. Let
us find in it a peaceful certainty that our life is
in His hands. ‘God may allow us at times to
hit rock bottom to show us that He is the
rock at the bottom’.
‘THE GREAT GIFT OF EASTER IS HOPE’
Happy Easter
