Pastor's Corner: April 9

Posted on April 10, 2023 in: Pastor's Corner

Easter cards are a funny thing. Most of them are about rabbits and eggs—often with all sorts of puns and jokes involved. A few, carefully placed in the part of the rack identified as “religious”, show a cross or a picture of Jesus. I can deal with all of those. But, I’m wary of the ones that wish us “Happy Easter, Happy Spring!” As if those two things are the same. They’re not. Spring comes as just one more season, repeating itself over and over. As soon as it arrives, it leads to another summer, another fall, another winter. But, Easter—the death and rising of our God. That should stop us in our tracks. Here we encounter a life-changing event. That God so loved us! That God remains with us! That God promises us a future that lasts forever! There’s a happiness that no spring—no matter how lovely— could ever bring us. So, let’s begin: celebrate Easter, let that life-changing event transform every day of our lives.
