Jesus is risen! Alleluia! What a joyous day for Christians! The celebration of Jesus' passion, death, and Resurrection is THE most important celebration of our Christian faith.
Because of Jesus' Resurrection, we have the hope-filled belief that we will live with Jesus forever. His Resurrection helps us to look forward to life after our life on this earth ends. And so we strive to live with everlasting life in mind. What we experience in our current earth-bound life will not last, but it does prepare us for continued life in the everafter. How we live now expresses what we believe about our continued life with Christ.
Faith Chat Question: How does your belief in Jesus' Resurrection impact your view of the world? In what ways do you show that you believe that Jesus rose from the dead?
Faith Response: Cut a cross from poster board or a large sheet of paper. On the cross, draw pictures of Easter symbols. Display your Easter cross throughout the 50 days of the Easter season.
Pray: Resurrected Christ, may we be your witnesses, sharing your life and love with our families, friends, and all those we meet. Amen.
