Question of the Week How have I come to believe? How can I witness to
“Resurrection time,” to this era in which our lives have a
deeper dimension and a greater purpose?
Reflection for the Feast of the
Resurrection.
Easter Sunday- April 4, 2021
“We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song.” The
great gift of Easter Sunday is our hearing and experiencing
again of God’s amazing love for us. Jesus’ rising from the
dead is our hope of resurrection. This amazing love of God
gives everything for us and never abandons us.
Since that first Easter morning, we continue to celebrate
the power of God open the chains of death so that we might
see life in its fullness. No matter what we experience now
we must say “Alleluia anyhow!” Never let your problems
get you down for it is Christ who will help us to rise above
our circumstances to be rooted again in the love of God
that comes to us through Christ Jesus.
Out of the darkness, Christ shows his light to the world.
His resurrection changes the history of salvation and gives
our suffering purpose. We have the freedom to live our
lives as God intended and experience real joy and happi-
ness. Even when we are buried in our sorrows, we can hold
onto the hope that eternal joy is coming and God shall
comfort us in our sufferings.
As Christians, we have seen and heard the comforting
words of the Lord. Do we believe the Word of God that
tells us that we will rise again? It is God’s initiative that
brings us hope despite all our fears and worries. We have
come a long way from where we started. When we look
back over our lives and just recall from where God has
brought us, we will begin to tremble!
Easter is not just one Sunday. Easter is a way of life. It is a
life where Christ is always at the center lifting us from the
things that keep us in the grave and not allow us to experi-
ence the life that God intends for us. As a Easter people,
we know what it means to rise from the grave and experi-
ence life as God has prepared for us. When life’s problems
come your way, lift your head high and say, Alleluia any-
how!
May we continue to experience what a relationship with
GOD is all about as we celebrate the new life that comes
from the Risen Lord Jesus.
