I was reading some very interesting ideas in N.T.Wright's book Surprised by Hope that are certainly pertinent for the season in which we find ourselves. I hope you'll agree.

"Easter is about the wild delight of God's creative power."

" Is it any wonder people find it hard to believe in the resurrection of Jesus if we don't
throw our hats in the air?"

"This is our greatest festival. Take Christmas away, and in biblical terms you lose two
chapters at the front of Matthew and Luke, nothing else. Take Easter away, and you
don't have a New Testament; you don't have a Christianity; as Paul says, you are still in your
sins."
