Dear Friends of BCUC,It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And no, it’s not Christmas—though I do enjoy that time too. It’s Easter, or better yet, the time of year we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.Ever since I took Jesus seriously in my life, I’ve been compelled to worship God with all my heart, alongside the worldwide congregation—especially through the services offered with my own tribe of fellow saints and sinners. To journey through the story together, from the Last Supper on Thursday night, the bleak and strangely cathartic emotions of Good Friday, the waiting weirdness of Saturday, and the abundant life and joy of Resurrection Sunday. My heart sings in worship as I turn toward the events of Jesus’ life, place myself in the story once again, and become ever so grateful—full to bursting with praise.I realise this weekend falls during the school holidays, with ANZAC Day very close. Many people in Australia will be camping or on holiday with their families. If that’s you, I pray you travel safely, have a wonderful rest, and spend time reflecting and worshipping Jesus. Please try to find a way to tune into the worship services online, or later via the podcast. Read the Bible story of Jesus’ last days out loud, spend some time in quiet listening prayer as you watch the sunrise, or maybe go and watch one of the two promising movies out this Easter that tell the wondrous story of the Christ who died for you.May the joy of the disciples who ate with Jesus after the resurrection be with us all this weekend.Your brother in Christ,Benji
