There are two equal and opposite mistakes that we can make when we’re suffering. We can over-spiritualise our situation, or under-spiritualise it. Mostly, it’s the latter.

With Easter done and dusted for another year, it can be easy to forget about the Cross, Christ’s suffering, the resurrection and the empty tomb ? and just get on with life.

The Easter story has two, equally important parts to it. The death of Jesus. And the resurrection of Jesus. Death AND resurrection. And when it comes to what Easter means in our lives, that meaning also has two parts to it. Death AND resurrection. Unless we get that, there’s no hope, no hope at all.

Easter isn’t just about Jesus dying on the Cross, to save us from our sins. It is that, but it’s also about Him rising again, to give you and me the hope of a resurrection.

As we get ready to celebrate Easter, the images of pomp and ceremony of crimson clad clergy in grand cathedrals probably springs to mind. But that very first Easter was nothing like that. In fact it was a lonely, painful time for Jesus. He understands loneliness and pain. And in the midst of it, He brings hope.

As we think about celebrating Easter, what we need to understand is that in the days heading into that very first Easter, celebration was the last thing on the Disciples’ minds. Fear was what they were feeling. And it’s in the midst of fear, that Jesus brings hope. Real hope. The sort of hope that changes everything Join Berni Dymet as he takes a the hope Jesus has in store for you - from a Different Perspective.Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/adp/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A life without hope is no life at all. If there’s nothing to look forward to in the future, then frankly life just isn’t worth living. A lot of people feel like that.
