3rd Sunday of Easter

 

We believe Jesus’s Resurrection is the fulfillment of the promises of the Old Testament and of those given to us during Jesus’s earthly life. By his death, Jesus liberated us from sin, and by his Resurrection, Jesus opened to us a new way of life because he had restored God’s grace in us. Jesus restored the intended relationship between God and humankind from the time of Creation. Now we, as a faith community, can look forward with confidence that we too will experience a like resurrection.
