The Resurrection

At the outset, I wish greet everyone, a Blessed Happy Easter! Many people, most especially the young ones, think that Christmas may be the merriest, most-awaited, and most-enjoyed, thus the biggest celebration we have in the whole year.

But wait, this is not to belittle the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, or His coming to the world, which is Christmas, as nearly everybody treats the occasion to be so, aggravated by the commercialism that has crept to change its real meaning. Still, the Christian world declares that Easter, being His Resurrection – Jesus Christ rising from the dead – surpasses Christmas in liturgical significance. St. Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians: “If Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your trust in God is useless” (1 Cor. 15:14)

“What if He did not rise from the dead, and Scripture did not happen?” This is the foremost question which only Easter Sunday has answered! And the whole world rejoices with all thanksgiving! Alleluia to the Risen King! Our Salvation has truly come! May this awesome FREE gift, paid in such great sacrifice of Blood and Life, be not lost in our life!

Easter “is the most important annual religious feast in the Christian liturgical year”.  The Easter Season (also known as Eastertide, or Paschal Time), is from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday, covering a period of fifty days.

Again, rejoice! And may the light of the Risen Christ be on us all to brighten one’s life, and radiate it as a blessing to others! Once again, Happy Easter!
