Easter is the breaking in of a new time and world in the existence of the man Jesus... In this altered existence of His the first community saw not only a supernatural continuation of His previous life, but an entirely new life, that of the exalted Jesus Christ, and simultaneously the beginning of a new world...
If you have heard the Easter message, you can no longer run around with a tragic face and lead the humourless existence of a man who has no hope.
Karl Barth, Dogmatics in Outline, p.113
