An Easter Reflection for Preachers

"All we long for is to know the Christ

and the power of his resurrection,

to share in the sufferings of Christ

and become like him in his death.

For anyone united to Christ

the world is new.

The old order has gone;

the new has already begun.

So we press eagerly towards the goal

in order to win the prize,

the call that comes from God

to life with Christ in glory."

—The New Zealand Book of Common Prayer, Collins, (Auckland), 1989, pp 107-108.

Thank you, Preachers, for sharing the Good News of Easter.
