Our faith has been renewed - Easter 2012

“You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here.” (Mark 16,6) On this Easter we seek for the risen Jesus in our lives. Maybe He has risen in us as our faith has been renewed or our sins forgiven or a relationship has been restored or a job has been found. Resurrection can take many forms in our life. It is up to us to search to see what the difference the Easter experience has had in our lives.
Here are some Easter questions:
Has my faith in Jesus-risen made any difference in my life?
Does Jesus’ triumph over sin, over death, over alienation from God, filter into every aspect of my words and works?
Are the gifts of Easter – e.g. redemption, forgiveness, reconciliation and renewal, anywhere in evidence in the manner in which I live, love and relate to others?
