Happy Easter

Easter Sunday has arrived - and it makes all the difference. It made all the difference to the disciples who had just lived through the worst hours of their lives, and it can make all the difference to us, two thousand years later. The truth that Jesus is alive makes a world of difference. It means a world where we can know love, forgiveness, peace. It means we live in a world where God is able to transform even the most hopeless of situations. It means we live in a world where even death does not have the final word - we live with the hope and the promise of resurrection. We can know life in all its fullness - now and in the future.
