The sermon was entitled - "Behold: the empty tomb - Behold: a world redeemed!" Farmers often tell me theirs is "next year country". There's always next year. The crops or the produce prices should be better then. Spring is the beginning of the year. Spring is the time when the failure of the past crop year can be forgotten and hope abounds for the new crop year. It is not wonder, then, that Jesus' resurrection took place, and we continue to celebrate Easter, at spring time. Easter is certainly a springtime for our faith. Jesus' death on the .cross marked the end of our separa- tion from God. His resurrec- tion brings faith new hope for life to come. His resurrection forgets about human failures and sins of the past and is tru- ly our introduction to the heavenly harvests yet to come. - There is no end to Easter. Easter is eternal. Easter is precious and yet Easter is historic. Easter marks the End of the end for it is the Beginning of beginnings. May the occasion of Easter this year make for all of us a long awaited spiritual beginning - a beginning of new hopes and dreams.
