“Why are you weeping?” “Be not faithless, but believing”

Though generally the hearts of both adults and children sink at the words “Family Service,” we had good ones this Easter.

Jesus after his resurrection was as pithy, trenchant and incisive as ever, and his questions cut, once again, to the heart of the matter.

His first words, practically, “Why are you weeping?”

And then, “Be not faithless, but believing.”

These two sentences are connected, somehow!
