We are now a little over three years on from the time the COVID-19 virus really started making an impact on human society across the world. In many cases, life has essentially returned to the way it was before, albeit with public health precautions now more at the forefront of our minds. We are now… Continue reading Easter 2023
Easter this year is now two weeks in the past, and at the time I was actually reminded of a Christmas carol: O Holy Night. Part of the second verse, “A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,” came to mind. It has now been more than two years since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and… Continue reading Easter 2022
What a remarkable time it has been … a year since my last post, and the world has been going through the COVID-19 pandemic through those months. More than anything else, I have been struck by how blithely we people can go about our business, relatively free from care, and then sovereign God hauls us… Continue reading Easter 2021
This Easter, we find ourselves in the middle of the worldwide COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. Perhaps now more than ever, in the past few years at least, many people are thinking seriously about life and death, and eternity. The risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 is real, and we need to take the appropriate precautions to… Continue reading Easter 2020
“Why are you here?” A short, simple question, but one that can be read in a few different ways. I would guess that most people have, at some point, asked themselves this question at the deepest, most profound level—”why do I exist?” The Westminster Shorter Catechism begins with a question-answer pair that addresses this question,… Continue reading Easter 2019
Christmas Day is upon us again, and it’s time to reflect on the year that has been. Apart from the normal commitments of work, family, and so on, this year—perhaps more than any other—is one in which I’ve started to see the underlying logic in Biblical theology. The atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ… Continue reading Christmas 2018
Today is another Easter, the day in the Western calendar that traditionally marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This year, Easter falls on the first day of April, which is also in the Western calendar as April Fools’ Day. There are, no doubt, some people who would see a certain irony in… Continue reading Easter 2018
By this time of the calendar year, most of us are probably tired. Physically tired, mentally tired, and maybe emotionally tired, too. Weary. Burdened. The demands of life have worn us down. This state of affairs will be nothing new to anyone who has lived longer than a few years. Perhaps 2017 has been a… Continue reading Christmas 2017
Many people would probably consider the Bible to be a largely historical book. Depending on their particular point of view, they might also consider it to be a largely (or wholly) mythical book. But what does the Bible say about itself? There are many verses on that subject, but today, a day on which we traditionally remember Christ’s… Continue reading Easter 2017
Traditionally, Christmas is a joyful time of year, when even many non-Christians are prepared to acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ in some way. But it can also be a painful time of year for those whose loved ones have died; a normally happy time is marked by sadness, due to the absence of those who have… Continue reading Christmas 2016
