RECTOR'S
NEWSLETTER
True Hope
February 2024
Dear friends,
When someone close to us endures great pain, suffering or sorrow, it can be hard to know how to offer any comfort or hope. But the good news at the heart of the Christian faith can speak to us at just those times.
On Good Friday we remember the death of Jesus on the cross, and reflect on the truth that this was not just an outward show or gesture, but the real experience of the most terrible kind of suffering that we can imagine.
When we, or somebody close to us, are suffering, then we can be comforted and strengthened by knowing that God in Jesus Christ has been there before us, and knows what pain and grief is like, and stands with us in our times of trouble.
On Easter Sunday we celebrate the rising again of Jesus from the dead, and this offers us the promise that, even through the most desperate and apparently hopeless situations, we can trust that God will work for good with us, and bring the hope of new life.
So this is what the church has to celebrate at Easter, that God in Jesus Christ has shared the reality of death, and has risen again from the dead, and so offers a real hope to us, and to all people.
Revd John Waller
