NEW LIFE
Easter eggs, baby chicks, lambs – all speak of new life. The Easter story starts with a death on Good Friday that is inexplicable to the followers of Jesus. Then the in-between day on Saturday – living with the horrible truth of what had happened, the dreams and expectations that have been crushed. Yet this was followed by the extraordinary new life that came on the Sunday, bringing joy beyond measure.
As we travel through life there will be many ‘easter’ experiences. We will feel let down, or perhaps we will feel we have let people down. We will have to live with the grim reality of the outcomes of actions of our own or of others. But the sun is always behind the clouds and it WILL shine again. There will be new opportunities, light to be found after darkness and new life to be experienced in abundance, bringing joy.
Have a hope-filled Easter weekend.
