We have four Sundays this year between the end of Epiphany and the start of Lent, and these help us to set the scene for Lent. So we're nearly there, for the forty days that lead up to Easter. It is a very challenging time, a time to cut through the outer wrapping of our faith, to get below the words which we say so easily and the things that we so often do without thinking.

Today, 23rd February, 2nd Sunday before Lent, we hear of the storm that blows up as Jesus and his disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee. The boat fills with water and the disciples wake Jesus from his sleep, for fear they are going to drown.

Jesus, as we know, calms the wind and the raging waves, and the disciples look at him in astonishment. ‘Where is your faith?’, he asks.

A good question, appropriate for us to ask ourselves as we appoach this season of self-reflection before the great feast of Easter.

WELCOME TO ST GEORGE'S CHURCH THIS EASTERTIDE 🌾

At Easter, and for the five weeks afterwards, we celebrate the the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When Jesus died on Good Friday, his disciples scattered - confused, fearful, without direction, without a future. But the absence of a body on Easter Sunday was altogether different. Now they saw Jesus everywhere – in the garden, on the road to Emmaus, as they fished, as they gathered together. And not as some spooky ghost of the past, but as the recognisable presence of the Son of God, risen from the dead. This is what we are celebrating this Eastertide – our God, real, alive, recognisable and present.

Martin Luther wrote: “Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime”. He has also written that promise on every human heart.

Listen to Surrexit Christus, an Easter song from the Taizé Community in France.
