    easter sunday: the resurrection


    reading
    Jesus Has Risen
    On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had
    prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,  but when they
    entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  While they were wondering about this,
    suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.  In their fright the
    women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look
    for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he
    was still with you in Galilee:  ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be
    crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”  Then they remembered his words. When they
    came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.  It was Mary
    Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the
    apostles.  But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 
    Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by
    themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

    activity
    If you made an Easter garden yesterday, take the time to decorate it. You could use plants from the
    garden or make paper flowers and baby animals to show new life. If you can find or make an angel
    figure, add it to your Easter Altar with a piece of folded white cloth.

    Reflection
    Jesus is risen Alleluia. All the powers of evil tried to destroy the perfect embodiment of love in
    Jesus Christ. They thought they had won but they did not, could not win. Love always wins. Even
    when things seem hopeless and dead, love can bring new life. Knowing this can give us the hope
    and faith to get through difficult times. It is also, however, a challenge. How can we, as Jesus hands
    and feet, bring his resurrecting love to our families, friends, neighbours, communities and our
    world? What can you do today to bring things that seem dead to life? Who can you share the
    resurrection story with? How can you bring hope in practical ways? 

    Prayer
    Dear God,
    Thank you for Jesus. Thank you that he was prepared to die to show us your great love for us.
    Help us to understand that cost and give us grateful hearts that want to share your love with others.
    Help us to bring your resurrection hope to the world.
    We pray in the holy name of Jesus Christ,
    Amen
