Easter time and the new life
What a pity if Easter time would just be a feel-good moment with hardly any tangible effect on our lives, on the way we think, speak, react, behave, etc. Paul would put it, “If we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.” (Rom 6,8) And he continued, “For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again. Paul would put it, “He (God the Father) who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?” (Rom 8,32) We just have to try our best to conform our mind and attitudes to this basic truth of faith and behave accordingly.
