Good News: The Resurrection
Yesterday we thought about the Easter Story, when Jesus was crucified on the cross to save us all. This day is now known as Good Friday? What a strange name! What was good about it? Can you think of anything?
Today we are looking at Easter Sunday, which was when Jesus’ was resurrected. Watch and listen to this short story by clicking on the picture:
Easter is a time of mixed feelings: sadness, confusion and loss, but also happiness, hope and joy. For Christians, Easter is a joyful time and reminds us that sadness does not last for ever. So as we break up for our Easter break, away from each other, let’s have a moment to reflect and think to the future, the joy of being back together.
Easter is also a time of new starts, and so is Spring; so to put a smile on your face, what better way than sharing one of my favourite Spring songs – please join in!
Prayer for the Day
Loving God,
Thank you that when awful things happen
sadness does not last for ever.
Thank you for the surprise beginnings
that today will hold in store.
Amen.
