The Joy of the Resurrection
We Christians simply cannot get over the reality of the Resurrec-
tion. For us, the fact that God raised Christ from the dead
proves that Christ’s way alone is
God’s answer to the sins and horrors of the world. The truths
Christ brought when he walked on Earth stand solid and irrefu-table. The light he brought is
the only light that never goes out for it is the eternal light of
God’s glory.
Christ’s life is truly the clearest example of how God intends for
us to live. Christ’s way is the
way that makes the most
sense for living on this earth. The true saints have proven
that over and over.
The hope which Christ offers
us is the only true and last-ing hope. Ultimately, it is our
only real assurance that life can be good and joyous for everyone. Read the words
St. Paul wrote to the church at Rome and apply it to your
own life: “Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we
too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been
united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be
united with him in a resur-rection like his” (Romans
6:4-5, nrsv).
If that is not a tremendous
cause for abiding joy, then
what is?
