Easter 2014

And so we come to Easter. To a child of the 20th Century the idea of a
dead body being restored to life seems rather far-fetched. We read about
it 2 Sundays ago in the context of the raising of Lazarus. With God all
things are possible and it would seem Jesus followers believed it
happened. We return to Matthew for the telling.

Compared with recent weeks today's lessons are short. The "Lesson" today
is from Acts and its salient point is that God's Salvation is for all
people.

Psa 118:24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and
be glad in it.

Pretty much sums up the day.

Whatever should become of our physical bodies our spiritual bodies are
eternal. The Epistle adjures us to seek that which is spiritual not
earthly things. On this day in particular we acknowledge that neither
death nor the grave can separate us from the love of God which is with
us even unto the end of the world.
