Today being the second Sunday of Easter, sometimes called ‘Low Sunday’, I suppose it makes sense to start thinking a bit more about what the resurrection. Today’s sermon on the Resurrection account in John 20 was very much an extortion to consider what the resurrection means to those of us seated in the pews – is Jesus alive to us or not?
One of the things I learned about my faith when the whole New Atheism thing launched the online careers of a thousand amateur theologians and apologists, was that I really was not one to talk. The topic that made me realise this was that of the afterlife.
