Spring is here! The sun is shining! The birds are beginning to build their nests. The swans at Sutton mill are beginning to sit on their nest. It is the time for celebrating new life – and of course it is Eastertide. I am writing this in Holy Week with the solemn days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Eve still ahead – but however solemn and dark those days may seem, yet the joy breaks through – even though we try to keep solemn, yet the joy keeps breaking through. We KNOW that Jesus Christ is risen. We KNOW that He promises us new life. However sad Good Friday might seem, However much we might be tempted to call it Bad Friday because of the awful events of the first Good Friday, yet it is Good Friday because of what Jesus Christ – crucified and risen – has won for us.

Celebrate with joy the wonders of this Easter Season. Jesus Christ has died and is risen. He gives us new life and new hope – and nothing can separate us from the love of God revealed to us through His resurrection.
