Minister’s Spring Message – 2010
Daffodils are a wonderful flower to represent Spring and Easter. They are one of the first flowers to arise and push their way through the cold and recently frozen ground. They are one of nature's hopeful signs that the world is undergoing a Resurrection. Freezing temperatures will give way to a warm sun, and soon vibrant life will fill our environment once again. Daffodils are shaped like little trumpets, too announcing:
"Spring has Sprung!" and "The Lord is Risen!"
The coming of Spring and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ are both signs of hope for humanity. The arrival of Spring assures us that life on earth will continue. "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest... will never cease." Genesis 8: 22.
However, with the Resurrection of Jesus we have an eternal hope. The Resurrection is the symbol and the substance of the proof of God's love. "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3: 17
Good friends, at Binbrook and Blackheath United Churches we want you to know - "God Loves You!"
