In his Easter message, the Bishop of Carlisle draws on close ties with our county’s farming community as he talks of new life through Jesus Christ.

The Rt Rev Rob Saner-Haigh, was filmed during a tour of three farms in the Eden Valley and later at Bishop’s House in Keswick for his message which speaks of the hope our famers see in the arrival of Spring and the new life Christians experience through Jesus’ resurrection.

Bishop Rob explains: “There’s a moment farmers know well. After long, cold nights, and months of hard work, when it seems like winter will never end, one morning, something shifts. The light comes earlier. Lambs are born. Snowdrops give way to Daffodils. You can feel a hint of warmth in the air. The land opens up again. Easter is that morning — but for all of creation, for all of history.”

With global conflicts, tensions and mounting hostilities around the Iran war, Bishop Rob recognises the doubts and fears that people are feeling; fears which can be overcome through embracing God’s love.

He reflects: “In a world where it can feel that darkness is winning, where it can feel for many in our communities that they are burying their hopes and getting used to endless winter, Easter says that with God nothing is beyond hope, nothing is beyond redemption. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.”
