We call this the third Sunday of Easter to remind ourselves that Easter wasn't just a one-off event that happened and that was it. It changed the world, as ripples spread out through and from the little pool of men and women close to Jesus. Over these weeks after Easter Day, we find out how those around him were affected by first hearing about and then meeting the risen Jesus for themselves. It is a process that has never stopped. This service today is a tiny ripple far out in the ocean of faith in which we are sailing, and the changing of lives still goes on.
