The Easter Message

“Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. Come and see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead…” Matt. 28:5-7

Holy week is the final week of Lent and begins with Palm Sunday this weekend. It concludes with Easter Sunday, which celebrates the most important event in the Church’s calendar. Not the death of Christ, but his Resurrection. It is a time when we as Christians celebrate the triumph of good over evil, a time for new possibilities and restoring parts of our lives that have been ‘broken’.

HOLY WEEK

Palm Sunday

Holy Thursday – Washing of the feet and the last supper

Good Friday – The Crucifixion

Holy Saturday – The Easter Vigil

Easter Sunday – The Resurrection

We commemorate the Passion of Christ and remember his sacrifice for all of us. Jesus challenged!! He challenged the authorities at the time and he challenged the status quo. He advocated a different way of life and this was a threat to those in power, those who had most to lose. If only he did not ‘rock the boat’, if only he sat silent, if only………

We are called as Disciples of Christ to also challenge, not authorities necessarily, but ourselves, our thinking, our actions and our relationships.

Even to his last breath, Jesus cared, Jesus loved, Jesus forgave.

As we reflect on the Easter story, let us take the time to appreciate and give thanks to God:

“For God loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

God bless
