Happy Easter! This is a wonderful time of the year when we see signs of new life all around us. The buds on the trees and flowers are beginning to blossom, and the temperatures are becoming milder. The colder and darker days of winter are hopefully behind us! Easter Day is also a celebration of life - the Resurrection Life. Almost two thousand years ago all of history was changed when Jesus, having died and being placed in a tomb for three days, rose from the dead. The dark days of hopelessness were now filled with the promise of life after death. Why? Because the One who predicted and promised to come back to life actually did. And it changed everything! It still does. The Lord is risen!
