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.
