Christmas is often seen as the most important day of the year where everything has to be perfect: presents, food, hospitality, family relationships etc; the trouble is that Boxing Day can be an exhausting anticlimax with seemingly little else to look forward to, especially in the dull greyness of January.
During the last 40 days we have been on a journey of identifing with Jesus in his suffering and death. Well he is now dead, has been taken from the cross and laid and sealed in the tomb. It can be very easy to live in a place of hopelessness, dispaire, loss or anticlimax in a way that is encapsulated in Easter Saturday.
Yes, the hopelessness of Good Friday can be the reality of our lives, yet the promise of tomorrow's new dawn is also the hope of the resurrection for our lives.
What hope does God want to give you today as you look to your tomorrow?
