“Easter is Ended!”
It is, you might think.
The last lovely anthem has been sung; the last sermon on the living presence of the Christ has been spoken; the last young lady in a pretty bonnet has walked out of the church; and the custodian has just picked up the last scraps of paper that cluttered the empty sanctuary.
Easter is ended!
Or so you might think, until you see a mother patiently give herself to instill love and character into the heart of a daughter. Or until you see a father stand by a small boy in a hospital bed confident that God could be trusted with is dying son. Or until you see a child give up a cherished toy because a sick friend has seen it and looked at it longingly.
For so long as we see in the lives of others the love and understanding and sacrifice that God gave our world when Jesus came … then we shall know in the highest sense …
Easter is NEVER ended!!
