Resurrection. It can’t happen without first death, but so often we find

engaging with the reality of our loss and grief so difficult. We can be

tempted to either avoid it altogether or indulge it. Neither approach

enables us to let God’s power in to bring life out of death, joy out of

grief and rejoicing out of sorrow. But when we understand and trust in

God’s loving resurrection power, it makes it so much easier for us to give

our pain over to him, and see him make all things new. So let’s see again

the kindness and transformative power of Jesus and trust in the

resurrection once more.
