Easter Day

If Christmas shows us that God is prepared to enter into our world, as a human being, to live as we live –as one of us,that He is not a God who is aloof; then Easter shows us that He was prepared to show Himself to us and let us choose to accept or reject Him. He was prepared to allow us to choose to put Him to death, so real is His desire for our acceptance or rejection to also be real.

But Easter also shows us that He is God. He can’t be killed, for He is Life itself and will triumph over death.

Easter shows us we are deeply loved and forgiven. We are saved from ourselves. We can’t do ourselves the ultimate injury of getting rid of God. We can’t kill God and we can’t stop Him loving us.

 We can ignore Him, we can reject Him but we can’t stop Him loving us and we can’t stop being His favourites.

                                     Happy Easter! 

                                                  Let us live as people who are loved.
