What does Easter mean to you? A festival of deep spiritual significance, or just another Spring weekend with a couple of bank holidays? A pivotal event in human history, or a good excuse to go a bit mad on chocolate?
For Christians, Easter celebrates the central event of human history: the death and return to life of Jesus Christ. The evidence is compelling:
An empty tomb
Countless appearances of Jesus, referred to by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15: 3-8
A reborn and revitalised group of followers, prepared to face death and persecution because of their beliefs A rapidly growing Early Church, charted through the book of Acts, leading to a global Church of billions around the world today.
If Jesus is alive, it changes everything: our attitude to life and death, our past, our present – and our future. It means death is not the end, and there is a life that last forever. Life wins! It means we can know the Creator of the universe, and live life as He intended it to be lived. Join us this Easter to celebrate the most amazing news of all: Jesus is alive today and loves you more than you can imagine...
