Keep practising Jesus’ resurrection: Rev. Williams

IT is a time to celebrate as well as a time to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On Easter Sunday, Christians filled the pews of the Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels for “The Resurrection of Our Lord” service. The Very Reverend Dr. Jeffrey D. Gibson, the Reverend Canon George Knight and the Reverend Dr. Monrelle T. Williams led the second service for the morning.

Under the church’s theme for the week, “Christ’s resurrection is the seal of God on authenticity of our faith”, Rev. Williams’ sermon focused on the importance of remembering and re-telling the Easter miracle of Jesus’ resurrection.

“If when recounting the resurrection seems to bring no result, you and I must practise resurrection. For we are all to practise and to keep practising, to keep witnessing to this world while working resurrection day into every corner of our lives,” emphasised Rev. Williams.

He told the congregation that it was important to confess and celebrate an ever-rising Christ and each generation of Christians must keep practising His resurrection. The Reverend also said that despite personal failures and all the atrocities which are occurring globally, that this is not the end as there is hope as God is still in control of the world.

As the service concluded, the children in their colourful Easter bonnets and baskets walked up to the altar to be blessed. These little ones received Easter eggs, which represent the resurrection and new life while the congregation sang the hymn, “God sent His Son, they called him Jesus” and “Christ is risen”.
