The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, reflects on the celebration of Easter:
“At Easter we celebrate just not the fact that Jesus rose from the dead, as if that were an interesting fact that happened many centuries ago. We celebrate the fact that in words from the Bible, because he is alive, we are alive. We know that we are held in God’s hands. That our lives are held firmly and lovingly forever by the mercy of God. We know we have a future in his love and that nothing can take that away.”
