CS Lewis wrote: ‘The first fact in the history of Christendom is a number of people who say they have seen the resurrection’.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the turning point of the world. Death becomes new and eternal life. Endings are transformed into new beginnings.
Without the resurrection of Jesus, Peter would never have been forgiven for his betrayal. Mary Magdalene would have lost a relationship with someone who treated her with dignity. The disciples would have had shattered reputations and no hope. In that alternate history, the church would have been over before it had begun.
Worst of all, it would mean nothing had changed. We would still be trapped in the same cycles of death and despair. God had not made a difference that would transform the world.
And yet, today we proclaim joyfully with the angels: ‘He is not here! He has risen, just as he said!’
In the resurrection, the world has changed. And so is everyone who encounters the risen, living Christ. From the disciples who went from being cowards who abandoned and betrayed Jesus to those who would – and did – die for him, to the millions of people throughout history who are radically, unrecognisably transformed when they meet the living person of Jesus, present and near.
The resurrection means the things of God are eternal. Everything we do for Jesus lasts for eternity because it is in he service of an eternal kingdom. And everything that is against God can only die. The sin and evil of the world is left in the grave today.
Because of the resurrection of Jesus, our lives are changed today and have meaning throughout eternity. Christ is alive. He is risen! Alleluia!

Sunday 12th February
There are three services in the group tomorrow at various times:
8.30 am St Michael & All Angels Alberbury - BCP communion (said)
11 am St Michael’s Cardeston - Holy Communion
4.30 pm St Michael’s, Ford - BCP Evensong
Everyone welcome at any of the services. In the gospel reading we shall hear Jesus say the words, 'do not worry about your life, what you will eat and what you will drink, or about your body...' We'll reflect on these words as we gather from a world where there is plenty that can worry us.
Almighty God,
give us reverence for all creation
and respect for every person,
that we may mirror your likeness
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Community Worship will take place tomorrow (1/1/23) at the usual time of 11 am at St Michael and All Angels Church, Alberbury.
We'll be thinking about journeys; the journey of the holy family to Egypt and back to escape a tyrant, and our own journey at the start of a new year.

God for whom we watch and wait,
you sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of your Son:
give us courage to speak the truth,
to hunger for justice,
and to suffer for the cause of right,
with Jesus Christ our Lord.
