You know the routine. We read all this stuff in the Bible about mercy and grace and power and victory. So then we set out to improve ourselves, to become better Christians. And it’s not until you’ve been banging your head up against a brick wall for a while that you ask yourself, what am I doing, what’s the matter with me?

Jesus once said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. I have to tell you, the first time I heard that, I thought it was crazy! I thought HE was crazy. But the more I set my life on a course to follow Him, the more I realise how right He was. How right He is!! Now I’m wondering, why did I take so long to figure this out.

God has gone to a lot of trouble to have His love letter to us, written and then preserved & passed down through the centuries.

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. Mostly, we just look at the conditions and circumstances as they present themselves. But actually, all too often, the devil is behind it all.

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.
