The empty tomb: holding lament in one hand and joy in the other

Auckland Unitarians

Speaker & Worship Leader:- Rachel Mackintosh

Recorded 31 March 2024 @ Auckland Unitarian Church

I preached in this church last year on Easter Sunday. My theme was resurrection — I spoke about the power of love over hate. In the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “Knowing that when life is gone, love is left for shining.”

Since then, as most of you know, I have become a widow. My husband and your minister Clay Nelson died last November. In preparing for this year’s Easter Sunday service, I have read all eight of the Easter sermons he preached here in this church. I have seen that he talked about the necessity of experiencing Good Friday if we are to experience Easter.
