Sermon preached by the Rev Dr Hugh Houghton on Sunday 30th March 2008:
Today is traditionally called Low Sunday – not, I think, because of the
attendance figures, but because after the big build up through Holy Week to
our celebration of Easter, this morning can seem a little flat. Yet we celebrate
the Resurrection not just on Easter Day, but every Sunday, the first day of the
week when, as the evangelists tell us, the women went to the tomb and found
it empty. As this was the day after the Sabbath, so from the very beginning
the Church has met to worship on Sunday, not Saturday (although the early
Jewish Christians did that as well, since they continued to go to the
synagogue). So today is, if you like, the first echo of the resurrection, the first
Sunday after Easter, when it is still fresh in our minds and all creation
resounds with the joy of new life.
