‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’
Luke 24:7
God’s intentions from the beginning have been fulfilled. Now anything is possible. This reality turned brokenhearted followers into courageous witnesses and martyrs of the early church.
You could imprison them, flog them, kill them, bit you could not make them deny their conviction that ‘on the third day he rose again’.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the cornerstone of Christianity.
We celebrated it on Sunday, this country still puts on a bank holiday that some got to enjoy yesterday. Back to normal today? What can be normal again after the truth of the resurrection sinks in?
He is Risen! The Celebration of this truth goes on and on.
He is Risen
He is Risen indeed
Hallelujah
Amen.
