Genesis 1: 1-5, 14-19, John 1: 1-5, John 1: 14,16-18
Jesus was the Light of the world; with His death all hope was gone. The darkness was a sign from God that Jesus was the life & Light of the world. However as written in the Gospel: three days after His death, Jesus who had died, arose from the dead & in the fullness of God’s Divine Light, revealed the gift of new resurrected life to those who had experienced total darkness.

Trusting in Our Shepherd’s Endless Mercy: Part 1
Psalm 23
For Christians, Easter is known as the holiest day of the year for it marks the celebration of the day that Jesus overcame death & eternal life was offered to all believers. In the Bible, we read that during those forty days leading up to Easter, Jesus & his twelve disciples journeyed together to Jerusalem, preparing themselves for what had been proclaimed to them by the prophets, the holy scriptures & by Jesus himself over the years.
