Easter Sunday
Matthew 28:5-6
Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.”
--------------------------------------------------------
We all lose hope. We have a Savior that died on the cross. How can He possibly save us, when even He, cannot save Himself. How can He possibly be with us forever, when He, cannot even free Himself from death.
These were the words uttered by the disciples during that time. And these are the same words we are uttering now. How come the Lord did not saved my son from that accident? How can he promise me forever, when that promise was broken, and my husband left me? How can the Jesus allow these things to happen to me?
There are no answers, even if we seek for it. For we are asking the wrong questions. And what is the right question? Just one – what does the Lord wants me to remember and do amidst these trials in my life?
And then the resurrection would offer the answers.
First, open your heart, as the tomb was opened during the resurrection. We cannot be free unless we open our hearts and accept Jesus inside us.
Second, empty your heart from distress, fear, and worries as the tomb was emptied during the resurrection. Trust totally and believe in the power of Jesus to bring you from pain to joy, from suffering to healing.
Lastly, tidy up your life, as the tomb was tidied up during the resurrection. Be with Jesus forever totally surrendering your life to him and totally amend your life, so only Him is in your heart as you attain the fullness of life.
Let us pray +
Almighty and ever-living God, hear us, and through this holy mystery give us hope that the glory you have given Christ for he is Lord forever and ever. Amen +
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
