THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
Thought for the Day # 28 – Sunday April 12, 2020
“Christ is Risen”
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Christ is alive!
On this Easter Sunday, we celebrate the most beautiful of news, the
greatest of news, because it means that life has conquered death! Death will
not have the last word. Hatred will not have the last word. Life does! Suffering
will not have the last say but love and life will. Love of God, the life of God,
but also the love that we practise in our life, the life that we live has a future in
eternity.
Jesus Christ is risen! The resurrection is the body of Jesus Christ found
and glorified. Jesus, the Word made flesh, came into the world and took on our
human nature. He could’ve left our human nature on earth and returned
beside his Father. But he wanted to bring our human nature into heaven
forever! Human nature, now and forever. Our human nature is at the heart of
the life of God because it lives in Jesus Christ, resurrected. He who was cruci-
fied is risen, there he is with his human nature, found and glorified, radiating
all the love of God, all the life of God.
Jesus Christ is risen!
