The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which we celebrate today, Easter Sunday, is a foundational belief in Christianity. Saint Paul says: “And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” (1 Cor. 15:14)
To the Christian faithful, Easter symbolizes new beginnings and victory over death. It signifies that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers can receive salvation.
“Easter is not just a remembrance or re-enactment of something that happened more than 2,000 years ago but is something present. The death of Christ, for example, should teach and induce us to die to our old self. Thus, the man who struggles to give up smoking, gambling and other vices exemplifies Christ’s rising to a new life.”
There is also a new beginning for appreciating the ordinary. They who we faced day-in-and-day-out during the long lockdowns are not ordinary people, they are family worthy of our concern, tolerance and understanding! Let not a busy schedule keep us away from the next family gathering.
