Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
Jesus’ resurrection wasn’t expected by the women who went to his tomb on that first day of the week. The went to see a dead Jesus in order to complete the preparations for his body to remain in the grave. And yet, when they arrive, the tomb is empty and an angel proclaims that the crucified one is now alive. Jesus has pierced through the veil of death for us and come out of the tomb and the grave with the fullness of life to share it with us.

When the women went to the tomb of Christ, they weren’t expecting to find it empty nor angels telling them of the resurrection. And most certainly, they were not expecting to encounter the risen Jesus himself!
