It is the moment that changes everything, because Jesus’ resurrection is a big deal. Not an afterthought, but a moment that reaches into ordinary, everyday life.
And in the middle of it all sits the good news, the kind that refuses to be ignored:
The stone was rolled back. The tomb was left empty. Jesus is alive. Love is stronger than death. A better way is opening up before us.
Today we find ourselves surrounded by chocolate eggs. Symbols of new life, or perhaps quiet reminders of the stone rolled away from the tomb. The eggs may feel a little lighter than we remember, but the meaning still holds. Bunny rabbits remain something of a mystery, yet they add to the atmosphere all the same. And yes, I will certainly be enjoying the chocolate, purely for shrinkflation research purposes. You understand!
There are days when life feels less like renewal and more like a treadmill, with endless effort, private struggles, and futures that feel uncertain or overwhelming. We keep going, tired and unsure, quietly wondering whether any of it truly matters.
And then there is Jesus. Love made visible. Love that walks with the weary, sits with the broken, and does not turn away. Love strong enough to face death and powerful enough to bring life from it, in his resurrection.
What looked like the end became the beginning.
Even the heaviest stones can be moved. Morning breaks where hope once seemed buried.
A new start is possible, because love is stronger than death.
