Happy Easter

Readings: Acts 10.34a, 37-43, Colossians 3.1-4, John 20.1-18

Today is the greatest of all Sundays in the Christian calendar because of the newness of life that it brings. Today, we celebrate the triumph of God over evil, of light over darkness and of peace over chaos. We celebrate hope, patience and the fulfillment of God’s promise to his people. We also celebrate the uniqueness of our religion, the resurrection of our Lord.

One question that we must ask ourselves this Easter Sunday is ‘Different’ I resurrect with Christ this Easter? Today’s Gospel  tells us that Jesus left the linen clothes in the grave. In other words, he did not cling to any “Worldly” thing or allowed them to pull him down. If we must rise with Christ, we must equally be ready to detach ourselves from all unnecessary things that pulls us down spiritually. Through our Lenten observances we did with Christ. So let us rise with him through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today our song should be that of thanksgiving to God. This is because Christs death was our death and his resurrection is ours too. Therefore, his joy, glory and triumph are equally ours.

Having been raised with Christ, we must act like the living and not of the dead. We must seek the things that are noble and things that glorify God, we must seek heavenly things by living like citizens of heaven rather than earth bound spirits. In other words, we must live like the type of life that is worthy of one who has risen and reigns with Christ. Let’s therefore sing with the psalmist on this glorious day of Easter. This day was made by the lord we rejoice and are glad. Alleluia!

WISHING YOU ALL HAPPY EASTER. PEACE AND JOY OF THE RISEN CHRIST BE ALWAYS WITH YOU!
