The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus means that Love will have the final victory!
First let us wish our Eastern Orthodox Sisters and Brothers a Happy Resurrection Sunday!
We read in St. John’s Gospel,
“This I command you, to love one another.”
John 15:17 RSV-CE
The Commandment of Love is central to Jesus and His true followers. This makes perfect sense because He is the personification of Divine Love. Jesus entered our world so that we can enter into God who is Love. The problem is living this Love is difficult because those who follow this Love will often experience the pushback, to a greater or lesser degree, what Jesus experienced as He promoted Divine Love in human relations.
Love anyway!
Do not give up Heaven because people choose to live in hell!
True followers of Jesus will experience their crosses. Be strong, embrace your cross, and live the peace that passes all understanding!
Pax, The Hermit of Peace.
