HISTORY IS HIS STORY
The resurrection was the most unexpected event in history, and it turned out to be the most important event in history. The resurrection revealed God as creator (the start of history), God as Saviour (the turning point of history) and God as Alpha and Omega (the goal of history). This was revealed as God walked amongst us in Jesus, shared our life, died our death and gave us life that never ends. What is the right response to all this? The Baptismal Vows give us a great one:

Do you reject the devil and all rebellion against God?
I reject them.
Do you renounce the deceit and corruption of evil?
I renounce them.
Do you repent of the sins that separate us from God and neighbour?
I repent of them.
Do you turn to Christ as Saviour?
I turn to Christ.
Do you submit to Christ as Lord?
I submit to Christ.
Do you come to Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life?
I come to Christ.
HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!
