Dear Good People of St. Mark’s,
Alleluia. Christ is risen. The
Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
Happy Easter! As we move into this
most joyous season of the Christian year, together let
us realize with the disciples that the tomb is truly
EMPTY! Let it dawn on us that everything that Jesus
said and did was fulfilled in this saving act of
redemption. Let us rejoice with them and proclaim Him
to be the Son of God. He has truly conquered death by
his own death and opened for all who believe in Him the
gateway to eternal life. My dear friends, the tomb is
truly empty and our Lord has risen indeed. Let us
rejoice in the Lord our God and be glad indeed!
In your rejoicing over the next
fifty days of this Easter season, allow yourself to
truly experience with the disciples the various
appearances of Jesus. By these appearances let Jesus
help you to understand the true significance of this
action of salvation completed by God Himself.
Understand with the disciples on the road to Emmaus that
Jesus is present with them as He breaks the loaf of
bread at the table. With Thomas see the pierced hands,
feet, and side of Jesus and with him confess, “My Lord
and my God.” And finally listen to the Great Commission
and watch as Jesus ascends to the right hand of God the
Father and know that He will reign there forever. My
friends this Easter season truly rejoice and be glad for
OUR LORD HAS RISEN INDEED!
Faithfully in
Christ,
The Rev. Charles A.
Hough, IV
