Many of us will already realise that the significance of Easter goes beyond the chance to eat chocolate eggs (possibly after forty days of avoiding such things!). However we can still be tempted to see the significance of Easter purely in terms of securing our personal destiny which can then lead to a rather individualised understanding of both ‘the Gospel’ and our Christian life. Seeking to avoid this danger (and conscious of the looming General Election), we will therefore reflect at both the 9.30 and 11.00 services upon the significance of Easter for both our personal destiny and that of the world. Integral to this will be consideration of the radical implications of this for both our private and public lives, as individuals and also as God’s people.
