Triumph of Light

Christ is Risen!
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

This day is the triumph of light over darkness. As I was on the castle esplanade early this Easter Sunday morning watching the first light of the sun bring colour to the horizon I thought "The light has shone in the darkness and the darkness shall never overcome it."

In John's Gospel the words "Dark" and "darkness" appear several times. But not after the resurrection. After this miracle the darkness is finally banished to its proper place. 

Darkness will still affect the lives of Christians. We will have times of disappointment, illness, sadness and everything else that goes to make up life. But resurrection will come because the shadow of darkness is only a shadow and the light has complete victory. The light will come as sure as the dawn will come. 

Happy Easter - rejoice and walk in the light!!
