Easter Sunday is about the resurrection of Jesus!

Easter Sunday is about the resurrection of Jesus!
Do we give the message of the resurrection of Christ enough thought and time in congregational life?
The central message of Easter is the resurrection of Christ. That is why we till Pentecost Sunday focus on this most important of all Christian truths, that Jesus was raised from the dead - and we call it Eastertide.

Indeed, all Christian worship throughout the year testifies of the resurrection of Christ. The fact that Christians worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, instead of on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, testifies that the resurrection of Jesus is the fundamental truth on which Christianity stands.
Jesus rose on the first day of the week. And we worship on the first day of every week, to say to the world that we serve a risen Saviour. Sunday worship testifies every Sunday of the importance of the resurrection to every Christian and all of humanity.

Jesus is alive. He did conquer and we are redeemed!
Let’s celebrate Eastertide with joy, vigour, faith, commitment, faithfulness and much love.
