9 April 2023 - ENCS

Vicki Tekwani shared with us this Easter Sunday
We should understand the meaning, he did say
To answer the question of what Easter is all about
And why we celebrate Jesus day in and day out

Often we keep doing things, forgetting the reason
But our faith is not just rituals through each season
It is based on a a higher power who came to earth
Taking on a human body despite His eternal worth

The world has changed a lot throughout the years
No such thing as “just business as usual" it appears
We face volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity
The pandemic amplified issues, causing more anxiety

Sin in society and our lives is in fact the root cause
That we are flawed and broken should give us pause
The solution can not be a person or a government
Or a process or religious ritual no matter the intent

We need a true leader who has suffered as a human
A conqueror by love and truth, who serves every clan
A sovereign relational being who is a healer and friend
Jesus will never disappoint us, on that we can depend

Christ revolutionised the world, being inclusive for all
Defeating death thus ensuring the enemy’s downfall
Meaningless rituals, Christianity does not in us instil
Nor do we follow blindly, for each of us has free will

Jesus paid the price for our right standing with God
We no longer need to give self-condemnation a nod
About Easter’s importance in John chapter ten we see
He came that we might have and enjoy life abundantly
