VICAR
Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I wish You a very Happy Easter this Easter Sunday! I trust that You are well and in celebratory mood despite the ongoing rains.
Easter Sunday marks Jesus’s resurrection. After Jesus was crucified on the Friday his body was taken down from the cross and buried in a cave tomb. The tomb was guarded by Roman soldiers and an enormous stone was put over the entrance.
On Sunday Mary Magdalene and some of Jesus’s disciples visited the tomb. They found the stone had been moved and that Jesus’s body had gone. Jesus was seen later that day by Mary and the disciples, and for forty days afterwards by many people. His followers realised that God had raised Jesus from the dead. Christians call this the resurrection.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You not only died on the cross for our sins, but You rose again from the dead so that we could have a victorious, overcoming, Christian life here on earth as it is in heaven. Father, let everyone walk in the power of that resurrection truth. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
I wish You all a lovely Sunday and bank holiday Monday to come. I hope You get some rest and enjoy Your day. I trust that You ignore all advice about not eating Easter eggs whole! God Bless You All.
