What is Easter?

“I am the resurrection and the life. If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live.” (John 11 1-45)

This is such an appropriate passage from the New Testament for this fifth Sunday of Lent as we approach the great feast of Easter.

Jesus raised Lazarus after he had been dead for four days. Jesus knew the family. The sisters Mary and Martha sent for him saying ‘Lord he whom you love is ill.’

We read that Jesus wept before going to the tomb where Lazarus was laid. “Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out.’

“Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him.”

Do we believe? Will we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus?

What does the Resurrection mean for us?
