You may have picked up the controversy
this week over the National Trust’s ‘egg-
hunt’. The Archbishop of York has said it
was tantamount to “spitting on the grave”
of John Cadbury. It certainly is a sad thing,
but let us not fall into the same trap of which
we warn other, namely conflating Easter
with chocolate.
Yes, let’s enjoy the Chocolate, but also
remember that we are declaring the
Resurrection of our King, and his victory over
death and sin. And so let us say with Paul,
“I want to know Christ – yes, to know the
power of his resurrection and participation
in his sufferings, becoming like him in his
death, and so, somehow, attaining to the
resurrection from the dead.” (Phil 3:10-11)
Christ, yesterday and today, the beginning
and the end, Alpha and Omega, all time
belongs to him, and all ages; to him be glory
and power, through every age and for ever.
Amen
