When you have lived through enough Easter weekends it can start to feel like we have seen this movie before - we know the story and there are no surprises left for us. Well, we may know the plot, but we can't afford to lose sight of the fact that this weekend literally changes everything for all of us: death is defeated, love has triumphed and the Saviour who walks with us through all of life lives!

CS Lewis wrote that "the Resurrection is the central theme in every Christian sermon reported in the Acts. The Resurrection, and its consequences, were the ‘gospel’ or good news which the Christians brought."

May the good news of the empty tomb renew your hope today and give you a story to tell in a world longing for good news!
