“HE IS RISEN!”

As Easter approaches I want to share the powerful Easter message with you.

Easter transcends time and place; it speaks to the struggles, tears and pain we all experience in a troubled world and calls us to a life of renewed hope and purpose.

In the midst of our busy lives, our challenges and the headlines that often seem full of despair and angst, Easter reminds us that there is always a light breaking through the darkness. It is the story of Christ’s Resurrection which reminds us that even in the darkest moments God’s love is still at work.

What does the real Easter message mean for you? I am sure, like me, you are anxious when you watch the news or read the headlines. Maybe you are struggling with personal concerns. The Easter message is one of resilience; that no matter how broken or hurt our world may seem there is always the possibility of Resurrection – new life and hope.

We are frequently told, and feel, that things will never change but the Resurrection of Jesus proves that transformation is possible. Where there is death there can be life. This is a message we need to hold onto as we face changes in our lives, our community, our Church and in the world.

This Easter I pray that we will all encounter the Risen Christ in new and life-giving ways.  May we experience the power of His Resurrection and be transformed by it.

It would be good to see as many folk as possible in Church over the Easter period, and to have folk joining us online, all sharing the special joy Easter brings.

Every Blessing
