He is Alive!!!!!!!
....The angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. he has risen, He is not here'..........(.Mk. 16: 6) ......Looking for the living among the dead! Jesus is risen, he is alive, alive in each heart that believes in Him, ...He is alive, forever he is alive. Death has no power over Him, he broke the power of death and sin.
The doors were closed in the room where the disciples were  for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them.. (Jn 20:19)... the elements can't constrain Him, He has power over all..... O death where is your sting? ...... Do not be afraid, it is I, the First and the Last... I am the Living One, I was dead and now I am to live for ever and ever, and I hold keys of death and of the underworld........
If Christ has not been raised from the dead, then our failth would be meaningless........There is no shade of doubt in the  Scriptures regarding the death and resurrection of Jesus from the dead  but how true is this in real life today. on this Easter morning?
Do I believe this? what does the ressurection of Jesus means? How alive is Jesus in my heart, my life, in my family, in my marriage, in my family, in my work place, in my neighbourhood and in my Church community?
Is Jesus Lord of my life? do I have a personal relationship with the Risen Lord? Do I love Him and yearn for His coming again?
Faith is not a myth..... the faith of  the Christian is a relation to a person - Jesus who loves us so much that he was obedient to give up his life to save the sinner, to suffer a shameful death, death on a Cross. For this act of selfless act, God raised Him up  to be Lord of both the living and dead, He is the Resurrection and all those who believe in Him even though they die shall live and whoever lives and believes in Him will never die. Wait a minute so where are my loved ones who have believed and died in Him? They are alive in Him ....... and those still living, are we hopeful to meet/live with  Him soon when we die? .......Do you believe this?
The Lord is truly risen . The resurrection of Christ was the laughter of god at the defeat of death and sin. The holy Mother Church cannot contain her joy today. So She breaks into the Exsultet. She does so even calling the sin of Adam a "happy fault"and "necessary sin ", for  it "" gained for us so great a Redeemer!"Let us laugh our hearts out and rejoice! .. ...... He is alive .... become  a witness and share your faith with others that
 He is Alive !!!!!!
