Any Morning can be Easter

This morning should have been Easter. I cannot remember a more beautiful spring morning. This morning should remind us of Christ’s love for us and for all other people. It should remind us through the bright and glorious sunshine, that Christ is the light who came into the world not to condemn the world, but through him to save the world. It should remind us through the gorgeous singing and trilling of the songbirds, that God created a world worthy of our care and nurturing. It should remind us through the blooming and wonder of the superb spring flowers, that through God’s grace and Christ’s sacrifice, that we can all live again if we believe in him. Yes, this morning should have been Easter, but then again I guess any morning can be if your joy is in Christ and your belief is in his defeat of death.
