Think of a moment when someone that you least expected to see suddenly stands before you. A moment when something you’d lost is found again and you can scarcely believe your eyes.
Think of a moment when your fear was suddenly proved unfounded and you were surprised by joy. This is such a moment. We resign ourselves to the worst, and suddenly life turns around.
So come this Easter, to be shaken from your conviction that nothing can change your situation.
Come if you look at the world and feel overwhelmed by its chaos, or disillusioned by its promises.
In this moment we remember how Mary went to anoint a corpse, and was greeted by a Savior.
Come to worship prepared to see your life and the world through new eyes.
For Christ is risen, He is risen indeed. Hallelujah!

Let us repeat that one more time! Christ is Risen, He has risen indeed.
