Rejoice
Life has a way of bashing us about – wounding us, mauling us, sometimes within an inch of our lives. Think back over your life so far: the suffering you have known, the mistakes you have made, the wounds which have marked you. This Easter Day, we celebrate with joy that extraordinary power of God, which redeems what is broken, mends what is torn and shattered, and gives life to that which has died. We rejoice because what happened to Jesus will happen to us.
