The eggs hidden around homes and gardens this weekend remind us of the rock in front of the tomb, and the hope of new life inside.
The joys of chocolate and a feast mark the end of the season of Lent that had many giving up, sacrificing, so as to share in the sacrifice of Jesus.
The rising sun of this morning reminds us of the rising SON that we celebrate, as believers in Christ.
“He is not here; he has risen!“
Declared the heavenly men in the tomb to the women who had come to the tomb with spices to cleanse the body that was gone (Luke 24:6).
Today we celebrate the risen Christ, the fulfillment of the prophets, the blood that was spilled to redeem our sin-soaked lives.
Today we celebrate that the grace of God.
The grace that is available to all, and is there in every high and low of life.
And it comes,
it came,
to us.
And it is still looking to find us, this Easter Sunday.
“From the creation to the cross,
There from the cross into eternity
Your grace finds me.”
