Easter, Day 4: Thoughts from G K Chesterton

And now we are in the fourth day of Easter. Here is a brief thought from GK Chesterton’s The Everlasting Man. May you live with joy in this new creation:

On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away.  In varying ways they realized the new wonder; but even they hardly realized that the world had died in the night.  What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but of the dawn.
