“Alleluia!  Christ is Risen!”  I shout.

“He is Risen indeed!  Alleluia!”  You reply.

Simples!

But you’ll want a bit more from me – it is Easter after all.

After the talk of sacrifice during Lent and death during Holy Week it’s nice to think about new life.

Whether you’re chasing down hidden eggs, following clues to treasure, or just enjoying the flowers and lambs, the signs of new life are all around us.

Jesus’ death was not the end – God raised Him from the grave, signalling the gift of New Life for those who believe in Him as Saviour and King.

Through Jesus’ death we can be re-connected to God, through the Resurrection that re-connection can be permanent – more than permanent … eternal!

That’s why we change from ‘Hosanna!’ to ‘Alleluia!’

Join the celebration – every Sunday, not just Easter Day.
