Easter is a stark reminder that nothing we can do can overcome the power of God. No matter how dastardly our deeds there is one who persists in seeking to make us his own.
Unfortunately so much emphasis has been put on the expected event of resurrection to eternal life in the future that many have missed the main thrust of the meaning of Easter.
When we think of death we think of that moment when the heart stops beating, breathing ceases and the line on the monitor of the brain flattens. It is in that context that we think of the resurrection.
