Christ is alive! What about you?

Christ is alive!  What about you?  By Carlos Londono

Christ is risen! It is Easter! Christ overcame death! Now, does this event take place only in the life of Jesus? Yes and No.

Yes. Historically and by faith we know as Christians that Jesus was killed, but the Father raised Him from the dead and now He lives! That Jesus is alive is a truth we Christian firmly believe.

No. If you are baptized, something happened in you: in Baptism you died with Christ but also you were raised along with Him (see Ephesians 2:6).

This Easter and every Easter is then a celebration of Christ’s life but also of the life we received along with Him.

Now, do you live as a risen one? We believe He lives! But, do you live like someone that LIVES too!?

What does this life look like in daily life? A person that was risen along with Christ never loses hope: there is always a second chance; if there is a will there is a way. A person that is ALIVE knows him or herself as loved. No matter how lonely or hurt by someone you feel. Death was destroyed, along with all its manifestations (depression, anxiety, loneliness, bullying and so forth).

Happy Easter! He was risen from the dead! And so were you along with Him! You are alive!
