THIS NEW
Life BY THE REV. CANON DR. THOMAS WILLIAMS
S
ome time in the early morning, when no one is around, when everything is quiet, the Lord of Life returns from death. No one is expecting this—they should have been, because he told them, again and again, but they weren’t—so no one is there. No one sees the first moment of that new life. Scripture doesn’t describe the moment; doesn’t tell us exactly how or when the Prince of Life began his immortal reign. The new life begins quietly, secretly, 28
unobserved.
