How it ends - not with a whimper!
Lent Reflection #40 2026 from Alison Lloyd
Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’… They still did not believe it because of joy and amazement… While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
Luke 24:36, 41, 51-52
The road to Easter does not end at the cross.
The road to Easter does not end with hardship, sadness, sin, pain, injustice, uncertainty, darkness or disillusionment. The road to Easter does not end with Jesus’ death. The road goes through all that — through the cross to Jesus’ resurrection, to his triumphant return to life.
The road to Easter ends with life, redemption and the defeat of evil. It ends with amazement, with peace and blessing, with worship and joy.
How wonderful. All praise to the God who has done all this. All credit to our living God! What joy and what glory are at the end of everything!
