He is risen
many many years ago (gosh i am so old), Easter was the secret egg basket with blue and purple ribbons outside the classroom.
i knew what Easter was, but i never fully understood the significance of it.
Easter service today was beautiful. the hall was adorned with banners and bouquets of spring flowers. extra chairs were lined up in the spillover. there was an orchestra, not just a band - 5 violins, a french horn, an oboe, a guitar, drums and the works - and a full choir. everyone was dressed in their sunday best. little boys in vests and suits and little girls in smocked frocks and ribbons in their hair.
the worship and the scripture reading made me realise two things, that God is good and He is indeed worthy of our praise; and that because Jesus rose after the third day, the gospel is the truth and the truth has spread to the entire world.
indeed, it's a cause to rejoice and celebrate =)
