The telling of the Easter Story: Part II
As we saw in Part I on Maundy Thursday (watch again), Peter is re-telling the final few days of Jesus’ life; from his palm-leaf entry into Jerusalem, through to Jesus’ trial and Peter’s denial.
In Part II, Peter re-tells the twist in the story. From the empty tomb to fish sarnies on a beach, and the penny dropping of what it all means.
Listen and watch both through the voice of Peter, one of his closest followers and friends.

Dear Jesus,
Thank you that you rose from the dead on Easter Sunday.
Thank you that there is nothing that can keep me apart from you.
Thank you that you forgive me and that I can always be your child.
Be with me, and my family, now and always.
Amen.
