When Christ broke the death-barrier on the first Easter morning, he did so as our Saviour, for all of us. He opens up the gateway and prepares for us a highway to the loving presence of God. So we often proclaim, "Dying, he destroyed our death; by rising he restored our life." This Easter message is at the very centre of our Christian faith. Today's Scriptures offer an experiential account of this new life, from the lived experience of Peter, Paul and the Beloved Disciple.

On Easter morning the Christian family celebrates the central mystery of  faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He suffered on the cross and died for us, but now he is risen! Filled with the spirit of Easter joy, Christians proclaim the might and glory of God.
