The first Easter Sunday began with frightened women and perplexed men peering into an empty grave looking for their friend who had been killed a few days earlier.
They were looking in the wrong place.
They would find him and their worlds would be turned upside down.
It’s just that he was never going to be found in a graveyard. He had risen.
Life would never be the same again.
Jesus’ story is that death didn’t get the final word.
Life did. Resurrection life.
And his promise was that this new life is ours to share. Life always trumps death!
Mary and the disciples go to Jesus’ tomb knowing that people don’t rise from the dead, but Jesus did and proved to them that He was alive.
This changes everything.
I could have picked a hundred songs and would still have only scratched the surface of attempts made to express the wonder and the glory of the weekend that changed the course of human history. Here’s just a small selection.
Nobody expected Jesus to rise again – dead people stay dead. But what if he really has risen? What difference could it make?
As part of our Good Friday service, some members of our church created a series of images to help us reflect on Jesus’ journey to the cross.
A prayer week where we can all spend time reflecting & praying through the final week of Jesus’ life, being re-inspired by all that we encounter again.
