LOVE WINS!

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

There is great power in Jesus, but we must understand today, Resurrection Sunday.

We read in St. John’s Gospel,

They (Peter and John) did not yet understand the Scripture that He had to rise from the dead.

John 20:9

The understanding of the Resurrection’s significance in our lives is essential in order to tap into the power of the Resurrection in our lives. Jesus did not rise and disappear! He stayed with His Disciples for 40 days! They had to be taught! The event of the Resurrection is the central point in in history! No one has ever been nailed to the cross with witnesses that could testify to seeing a person die and be buried and on the third day rise from the tomb!

After 40 days of instruction, in ten days immediately following Ascension Thursday, when Jesus ascended to the right hand of Father God, God sent the Holy Ghost to finish the instruction! Christianity is the product of this instruction!

And we are not finished yet!

Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day, is not over! We have 50 days to be instructed by the Word, our spiritual reading and our meditation!

We need this time because if we can understand the Resurrection, we know that nothing can destroy us!

In the final analysis, LOVE WINS!

We Rise!

The Resurrection Faith!

“Now He is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him.”
Luke 20:38

Resurrection Faith brings meaning to our lives. It is required if want to have Jesus as our Lord! The Lord’s Disciple must follow Him even when things do not make sense according to the world.

Jesus chose love!

The Resurrection Life Choice requires Love! This goes against the way the world works.

Jesus said:”But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them…”
Matthew 5:43-44

This radical approach to life led to the Passion and the Death of Jesus! But for those who follow the Lord, this is not the end of the story!

Choosing to love people, all people, means to following Jesus, and will lead us to the result of Jesus’ life, Resurrection!

Choose the way of peace, choose Resurrection Life, rise now from whatever may be holding us down!

Choose to Rise!

Allow the Resurrection!

Carry Your Cross!

“Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be My disciple.”
Luke 14:27

Jesus wants us to have the good life! This means staying present in the given moment, and let Jesus lead the way.

We have so many crosses that come to us in our normal daily lives. Someone losses a job, someone has a terrible illness, someone has lost a love one. There are many crosses that we have to deal with, yet Jesus has made the way for us to follow and that is the only way for us to be a disciple of Jesus.

There are other ways of dealing with crosses, our difficulties in life, yet none leads to the peace that Jesus brings us.

The cross can be very heavy, remember that Jesus carried His Cross in the way to Calvary, was nailed to that Cross and died on it. Jesus was faithful to the end!

The End is a New Beginning!

The Glorious Resurrection would not be possible without the Cross!

This is our story too, if we follow Jesus, and bring whatever we are going through as our cross, and follow the Lord!

Resurrection Love Power!

Will We Be Disciples of Christ?

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast”.
John 22:12

After Resurrection Sunday, Jesus made himself present to His Disciples. He created the Resurrection Ministry. Jesus taught them the lesson that evil will not be victorious. In the end, only love will have the Victory!

The Cross is the Key!

The Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus was necessary because hate will always have it’s day, but it cannot win! The Cross and the Tomb are not the end when we are with Jesus!

Jesus wants to share intimacy with us! A breakfast with people we love is a very intimate situation. Words may be limited but love speaks loudly!

Jesus calls us to this intimacy! He calls us to dine with Him; His Love will reign in us! When we have come from this meal, we have been changed, we take this Love Power with us, and change our world!

Be Disciples of Divine Love! Be Disciples of Jesus! Let us lead all people to the Resurrection!
