Happy Easter! Jesus has taken all the sin, the darkness, the evil in this world into Himself and crucified that evil and now has made all things new in His Resurrection and Newness of LIfe!
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
All of Nature is rejoicing and we see buds openning, the sun shining, the birds singing and celebrating the arrival of Spring! All is coming alive. All is Hope and Joy in the newness of Life in Jesus!
We belong to Jesus; and nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.
Evil is not winning: God's love and joy and peace are winning!
Evil men did their best to get Jesus Cruified; but He go the last laugh because He died for those same men who crucified Him and asked the Father to forgive them for they did not know what they wre doing. But they did get the nails straight; how can they not know what they were doing? Jesus said that because He had said: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." And we know how we love ourselves: we always excuse our selves when doing wrong. So, Jesus excused them just as we all do this.
If you do not have joy today..then you need to go to Jesus as Peter did and profess that you love Jesus three times. Judas had no joy because his guild did not lead him to go to Jesus but only reliance on himself and the Jewish leaders who did not comfort him when he went to give them the money back. If Judas would have come back to Jesus, he would be called St. Judas today. Jesus is more wishing to forgive us than we are wishing to be forgiven. But Judas never trusted in Jesus - only in money, and his own notion of whom Jesus was to suppose to be: messiah that overthrows Roman oppression. But Jesus was trying to bring people to the Father not to polictical freedom from Rome. Jesus was trying to free us from the slavery of sin! His death and resurrection did that!
Let us really rejoice today because we are redeemed!!!!!!
Easter is a time of great joy and newness of life!..because Jesus said:
"I have come that you may have life; and have it abundantly.." --- now and forever!!
And in heaven, God will continue to reveal His Goodness and Love and wow us more and more..and give us an ever increasing joy and love and peace.
Love, pio Happy Easter!!
