Sun 17 Apr
<p>The Easter Calendar is a time when Christians pause and reflect on what the creator God has done in sending a Saviour into the world. Palm Sunday is a time to reflect on the anointed King entering into the city of Jerusalem. A time when an enthusiastic crowd welcomes the King. </p><p>Good Friday is a time to contemplate the death of the King, and what the implications for us are as His subjects. </p><p>Then there is an unforgettable event on Easter Sunday – the Son of God, Jesus Christ, rising from the dead. We had a taste of the resurrection when Jesus died and the graves burst open, and the risen people go walking in the city. An interesting experience! </p><p>While we talk about being prepared for death, which is a wise thing to do. Have we prepared ourselves for the resurrection? For it is there that we will meet the all-powerful creator God. Are we ready to meet the risen Lord? The women who went to the tomb on that Sunday were expecting a body, not the resurrected Lord. Jesus’ followers were expecting a dead Jesus? How wrong could they be? What are you expecting? </p>
