Today we conclude our celebration of the story and the mystery of God’s salvation for us. The devil could not defeat God. Evil could not overcome God’s love for us. It is love that has defeated evil, even death itself.
Christ has risen from the dead and all who believe in him will have eternal life. Christ has reconciled us with the Father.
Through Christ, our relationship with God has been transformed. We do not have to fear God’s judgment.
In Christ we have our Saviour who pleads for us. He has died for our sins and has risen from the dead, offering us eternal life through him. God will always be with us with His love to forgive us in Jesus His Son. God just awaits for a humble and contrite heart to come before Him.
But this is not the end of the story of our salvation. Jesus has not just brought God’s love and mercy but invites us now to a new life. Through his resurrection, Jesus has poured God’s love upon us that we may now live in God’s love.
Do not seek what the world has to offer. Seek God and God’s Word. In there is life, hope and love.
We are called from the darkness into the Light.
We are called from despair of our sinfulness into hope of God’s mercy.
We are called from hatred to love as Jesus loves.
We are called from the death into life.
We are called to rise from the tomb to a life in Christ.
Christ is our light who shines the way for us.
Christ is our saviour when we fall into sin.
Christ is God who teaches us how to love.
Christ will always be with us.
Christ is Risen!
He lives and he lives in us today.
