As I join millions of Christians all over the world reflecting upon the passion of Christ – his journey of love, obedience, suffering, mercy and forgiveness and finally that everlasting victory which transcends across all ages and boundaries, I recall the times I fail to make things right, perhaps due to both personal and situational limitations and fall into despair , ever wanting to raise that white flag.
We all face different obstacles of varying intensities and pit holes in our daily lives and in dealing so, can all seem too unbearable. However, if we step out of our own personal bubble and re-examine our own crosses against God’s blueprint plan for us, we’ll come to realize that they seem to look so small and trivial as compared to that one single cross that Jesus had to shoulder on the road to Calvary.
Easter marks the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, his victory against death , the victory that gives hope for you and me, the hope of salvation and reconciliation with God the father if we make the choice to carry our own crosses with love, and to follow him.
Happy Easter!
