Easter morning

31 March - 6 April 2024

What it means to be Easter people

Mark 16.1-8

The women who come to Jesus’ tomb early on Sunday morning find it opened and empty. They see a young man in white robes, who tells them that Jesus is raised. They are to tell the disciples to go to Galilee where they will meet Jesus, risen as he had told them. With little else to go on (as yet), the women are both amazed and terrified, and afraid to speak to anyone.

This morning’s Gospel tells us that Easter joy was not immediate for the disciples. What does this mean for us? How can it help us to deal with the continuing pain of living in a suffering world? How can it help us live as Easter people?
