Seed for Mar 22

We are at the time of the year when all reflect upon the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Of course our hope is in the resurrection. He was the first fruits of the resurrection and after the birthing of the Head, the Body will follow! We know there was suffering and we know there was death, but we do not worship the sufferings nor the death of Jesus. We do not worship the 7 stations of the Cross. We do not celebrate His sufferings and dying but of His resurrection, living and life! Our focus is to be on living and True Life. No amount of personal sufferings will make us one bit better and more worthy to God. The Bible declares that God saw the bleeding and dying of the Body sent to do His Will, and it was sufficient. “It is finished!” Jesus declared! What is wrong with celebrating a “mass”. It is the celebration of the sufferings of Jesus. That is why, in their churches they still have Him hanging on a cross, suffering, and dying. That is what they worship, the sufferings of Christ! That is why they are also taught that in order to be good and holy we too must suffer, like Jesus. Not so! The Good News sets us free from that bondage of superstition. We know in what we have believed, and know that His sacrifice makes us believers perfect before God, without any added effort of sufferings on our part.So in this Easter time, magnify His resurrection, the hope of the true Christian. Be blessed.

Be Blessed from a recovering Pharisee,
