Easter is one of our biggest and most exciting celebrations of the year. For believers, we turn our minds back to the events of this weekend about 2000 years ago and reflect on the love Jesus lived through the cross. We think about how the grave could not hold Him, but that after He gave all for us, He rose from the grave. This is the good news. It is personal and has changed our lives – both now and forever. Instead of a ‘wishing’ hope, we now have a ‘confident’ hope. We find life here and now, but we know it is just a taste of the life that awaits us. Death has been transformed from the worst reality we ever face, to the very doorway of our deliverance from all that is fallen and broken in this world. And this hope is something we want to share. We’ll sing and celebrate this morning; but we’ll also look at a few verses that sum up the good news of Easter.
