Easter Sunday: Alleluia

‘Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you...." ~Mark 16:6




Alleluia!!!
Christ is risen!
Hope has come!


"The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you're now invited to belong to it.” ― N. T. Wright

 

 Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there. ~Clarence W. Hall

 

   “Jesus's resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.”  ― N. T. Wright, Surprised by Hope

...what happens after Easter is up to you.... 






Prayer:

Resurrecting God,
you conquered death
and opened the gates of life everlasting.
In the power of the Holy Spirit,
raise us with Christ
that we, too, may proclaim
healing and peace to the nations. Amen
