This is a neat time of year; winter is almost over and even if Spring hasn’t quite arrived by Easter, we know it will be here soon. Spring and Easter both remind us of new life; Spring brings new life all around us and at Easter Christians remember that Jesus was raised to life and is still alive.
I enjoy the signs of Spring very much, but couldn’t say that they give me new life- even though they might put a smile on my face! But God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, offers us new life. It was a long time before I realized this. I studied Jesus’ life according to the Bible in high school in my religious education classes. So I knew about the resurrection and knew that people argued over whether it really happened. I thought it maybe it did; I didn’t know. I didn’t know there was anything more to being a Christian than being one of those people who were of the opinion “yes, that probably did happen a long time ago”.
