Easter 2021

In dark times, where do we look for the light?

2020 was a challenging year globally, with increased isolation and anxiety, financial stress and health concerns. This Easter comes amidst the rollout of vaccines and the promise of a post-pandemic future. But for many people, the negative impacts of the pandemic will be long lasting, whether through unemployment, homelessness, domestic violence, addiction or family separation. Even for many people who have escaped the harshest effects, there is a weariness we may never have experienced before.

But the Easter story gives us cause for present hope. Before the sun has risen, Jesus is raised to life, and the women find an empty tomb. While it's still dark, God does his finest work.
