Lord Jesus Christ. The climax is not a dying, nor a resuscitation; but a new creation, a man scarred by human evil, raised to new life in God.


In proclaiming, “ I am the Resurrection and I am the Life,” Jesus tells us that death will not dominate him, that Life will never again be seen as trivial and transitory. The Christian faith is earthed in the actual events of the few momentous days in the life, death and resurrection of our


recognition that Jesus is, what indeed he always was, namely both Lord and Christ. Rising asks first for a dying and this is the demand we want to evade. All fear is fear of dying. All Christian faith is based


That God raised Jesus from the dead on that first Easter day is the public proclamation of God setting his seal of


on faith in the Resurrection of Jesus, and so Christians celebrate his death, for on a hill outside Jerusalem death dies. Resurrection to eternal life is what the future holds beyond the grave. By faith we are united to Christ, and so


this, and without its sorows, its tears and its pains. The resurrection of Jesus Christ has to become our resurrection if it is to mean anything at all.

yesterday. Officers have recom­


mended the Development Control Sub-Committee to inform the Secretary of State for the Environment of their concern over his decision not to call in the o u t l i n e p l a n n i n g application. Previously, the sub­


committee objected to plans for the redevelop­

decided not to call in the application and Ribble

committee, the county council criticises the legal agreement Ribble Valley
