Walk With Jesus

New words broke out of the silence of Holy Saturday and touchees the hearts and minds of the men and women who had known and loved Jesus.  These words were: "He has risen, risen indeed."  They were not shouted from the rooftops or carried around teh city on big placards.  They were whispered from ear to ear as an intimate message that could be truly heard and understood only by a heart that had been yearning for the coming of the kingdom and had recognised its first signs in the words and deed of the man from Nazareth.

All is different and all is the same for those who say "Yes" to the news that is whispered thorugh the ages from one end of the world to the other.  Trees are still trees, rivers and still rivers, mountains are still mountains, and people in thier hearts are still able to choose between love and fear.  But all that has been lifted up in the risen body of Jesus and place at the right hand of God.  The prodigal child is put in it's mother's arms; the true heir has been given the best robe and a precious ring, and brothers and sisters invited to teh same table.  Allis the same, and all is made new.  As we live our lives with a resurrection faith, our burdens become light burdens and our yokes easy yokes because we have found rest in the gentle and humble heart of Jesus that belongs for all eternity to God.
