North-Eastern Diocese

Dear friends,

Dear blessed children of God,

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. (John 11:25)
Christ is raised, Hallelujah!

It is another occasion of great joy to the world. It is my pleasure to send you these Easter greetings from the North Eastern Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (NED-ELCT). We thank God who has carried us safely throughout the Lent Season. It suffices to use the word ‘safely’ in qualifying this journey of the Lent Season leaving room for further qualification depending on what has been happening in our various contexts. As long as we have entered the Holy Week and eventually the Easter festivals, it implies that we have been taken through safely. We are safe as long as we have been given another opportunity to reflect on our lives in relation to the saving grace of God. Even if things are not working well with my life I still stand under this saving grace and I am one among the many who stand a chance of partaking in the life of Him who is resurrected. That chance is still open to me as I still have the possibility of hearing Him telling me: I am the resurrection and the life. And after that He continues to tell us the same words he told Martha, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” (John 11:40). If we believe in Him we will have life and consequently be in the glory of God.
