Easter - He has risen indeed.

Easter is a time for reflection, particularly of the suffering that a young man called Jesus went through, and also of his triumph a few days later when the stone was rolled away to reveal an empty tomb. He appeared to many over the next few days, which must have been a bit of a shock to his friends and family. The rest is history. He continues in our lives today if we let him. Any time in my life when things have 'gone wrong', it would have been a time when I have shut Jesus out of my life by ignoring him, not acknowledging him, not living as he would have wanted me to. Each time, as I look back, I see myself falling and he picks me up to start again with a fresh page....it is so good to be forgiven.
