Hello my name is Johnny Dade and I'm a vicar in the Church of England

I really hope that you are having a joyful Easter weekend and that it's full of celebration

Easter Sunday, yesterday, is the unrivaled climax, the high point in the Christian year
0:26
and today we live and rejoice in its light. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the bedrock of
0:35
the Christian faith and it's the centre point of human history. The theologian and bishop N.T. Wright
0:41
said the resurrection of Jesus is the hinge on which the door of history turns. So why is it all
0:50
so significant. I recently watched quite a graphic documentary series on the sinking of
0:57
the Titanic over 1 souls lost At the point that the great ship begins to upend and plunge beneath the waves anyone still on board is doomed Clinging to the fated vessel might have offered the feeling of
1:14
security, but it was an illusion. The only hope of rescue and of escaping death was to abandon ship
1:22
and find safety in a lifeboat. St. Paul describes the human choice in similar terms
1:31
The human project, represented by Adam in the creation story, is doomed
1:36
But in Jesus Christ, there is the promise of rescue. And unlike the Titanic, there is room for everyone
1:45
The Bible tells us that God so loved the world that he sent his one and only son
1:51
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life
1:56
So this Easter, choose life
