DESCRIPTION:After Easter Sunday there are another 5 Sundays of Easter befo
 re we move into Ascensiontide. And\, rightly\, our minds are still full of
  the Easter story - the apostles huddled together and the women bursting i
 n with that unbelievable tale of the empty tomb and the risen Lord. And ho
 w the apostles ran\, so desperate were they for an answer\, a way forward.
  And how all they found was emptiness\, absence\, the lack of a body. And 
 you could easily stop there and say\, ‘OK\, that was it: that was the Je
 sus story’. \n\nBut what happened over the coming weeks\, was that their
  perspective changed. Where some people saw only an empty tomb\, the apost
 les saw a risen Lord – today in the garden\, tomorrow on the road to Emm
 aus\, the day after\, perhaps\, walking by the lakeside. God standing ther
 e in front of them\, in front of their very eyes\, in the person of Jesus 
 Christ…and to recognise him and to know him. \n\nAnd\, if we can live wi
 th that new perspective\, then we can follow the example of the apostles a
 nd we will find we are in the presence of Christ\, sometimes in the breaki
 ng of bread\, but more often in unlikely encounters\, in unlikely places. 
 \n\nAnd that gives us tremendous hope. It was Mother Teresa\, who said\, 
 “Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the jo
 y of Christ risen”.
