The Truth of Easter
Body

"Death does not have any dominion over Jesus, nor does it have dominion over us. This is the great joy that we celebrate this Easter season and always: that Jesus is victorious over death and brings that victory to us." 

Happy Easter, friends! In his Easter message, Bishop Alex points us to the unending joy of the knowledge that we are raised with Jesus Christ.

Good Friday and Easter message
Body

"It is very easy for us to become too identified with our sin, our pain, our loss, and our trauma without understanding the fullness of the power of the resurrection. While Jesus identifies with us on Good Friday in our sinfulness, He takes us up into His resurrection on Easter Sunday." 

We pray you enjoy a blessed Good Friday and Easter. Looking for an Anglican church near you? Visit our church finder at https://www.pitanglican.org/congregations.

The events of that first Easter morning stretch our imagination. There are humorous moments mixed with the recognition that something of enormous cosmic import has just occurred. The image of an angel perched on a stone that has just been rolled back from the tomb, and Mary mistaking the resurrected Jesus for the gardener—these are almost playful scenes in our minds, yet the world-shaking significance of the Resurrection should bring us to our knees in awe. It must be stressed that the historic Christian teaching has always been that we believe that Jesus experienced a bodily resurrection, not merely the resuscitation of a corpse or a spiritual transformation.
