A month ago we celebrated Easter with snow on the ground and a chill in the air. We are fortunate to get a second chance thanks to the different liturgical calendar used by the Orthodox communion. There are approximately 225 millon Eastern Orthodox Christians around the world, so their celebration today is significant.
We are encouraged to believe that every Sunday is a little Easter, a time to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and our resurrection hope. We can lose the excitement of the promise of new and eternal life in the busyness and business of the church. Yet it is an extraordinary story of God's personal and incarnate love which can't be taken for granted.
