This Easter morning, both visually and in the message, our attention will be drawn to the cross that stands so prominently in our sanctuary. As a symbol, the cross is capable of evoking great passion, but it is the events behind the symbol that are capable of producing not only passion, but great change for good in each of our lives. As the Scriptures clearly teach, something happened in the crucifixion and resurrection, not only to Jesus, but to us as well. The practical value of the mystery of our union with Christ in His death and resurrection is hard to see for many. May God give us the grace today to see that in our union with Him, crucified and risen, our deepest needs and greatest hopes find their fulfillment.
