Easter Sunday

He is Risen, Alleluia!!

May every Easter blessing be yours, and may our crucified Jesus, Who has certainly drawn you to Him on the cross, raise you up now in the glory of His Resurrection.

These words have been ringing in my ears this morning, ‘Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and so enter into His glory? (Luke 24.26)

If there had been another road, He whose tender heart ever shrank from inflicting pain, would gladly have pointed it out to His followers, but there is none other if we wish to reach Heaven and certainly none other to find His love.

But why should I speak to you of suffering on this morning of joy?


I do not know except that I feel Jesus would have you always stand with arms opened wide to embrace the cross, and even draw it to your bosom.
