“WE proclaim Christ crucified........” 1 Corinthians 1:23


Did you know that South Korea is ONLY 29 per cent Christian and-of that-11 per cent Catholic-despite that-the cross is VERY PRESENT there-especially at night


Jesus made the SUPREME SACRIFICE OF LOVE for us in life and in death-”GREATER LOVE has no man than this-that he LAY DOWN his life for his friends” John 15:13 (THAT is right-you and me are Jesus' friends-as are the people of South Korea-and BELIEVERS-and non-believers alike all over the world)


So this Lent and this Easter-spend a few minutes with the CRUCIFIX-the symbol of CHRIST'S ignominy all over the world-BUT also the SYMBOL OF his love for us


And maybe you will see-as I have seen-throughout my life-that CHRIST-”is the way-the TRUTH-and the LIFE” John 14:6


There are ONLY about 2.8 billion BELIEVERS of the 7 billion people of this world-and maybe you will see your life RESURRECTED over your daily problems-for there is life in JESUS


“THEREFORE go and make disciples of ALL NATIONS---baptizing them in the name of THE FATHER-and of the SON-and of the HOLY SPIRIT” Matthew 28:19


IT IS a great day to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-and in EVERY DAY of our lives










CHRIST RESURRECTED-OUR LIVES RESURRECTED




Do you know
What it means
To resurrect


GENERALLY-it means
To RAISE from the dead
And bring back to life


And SPECIFICALLY
It means-Jesus Christ's RESURRECTION
Over physical death


BETRAYAL by a friend
Couldn't kill him
Denial by another friend
Couldn't kill him
And the running away
Of all the rest of his friends
Couldn't kill him


NOT even torture, humiliation,
And physical death
Could contain him


Jesus Christ
TRIUMPHED over it all
He triumphed
OVER THE GRAVE


Jesus said
To Mary Magdalene
And Mary-the mother of James
And Salome


“Be not afraid
You seek Jesus of Nazareth
Who was crucified


He is RISEN
He is not here
Behold the place
WHERE they laid him


Go your way
Tell his disciples and Peter
That he goes before you
Into Galilee


There you will find him
As he has said
Unto you” Mark 16:6-7


What have you died to in your life
PHYSICAL HEALTH
Financial obligations
A personal relationship/or relationships


UNITE your life (your crosses)
With Jesus'
And you will be raised
Not only in this life
But AFTER your physical death


“Then he said to his disciples
'IF any man
Comes after me
Let him deny himself
And take up his cross
And follow me” Matthew 16:24


If we do this
If we UNITE
Our crosses in life
We can OVERCOME
Our misfortunes
In this life


Our lives resurrected
THROUGH CHRIST'S LIFE


For if
We have been planted together
In the likeness of his death
We shall also be
Also in the likeness
Of his RESURRECTION” Romans 6:5


Be dead to sin
BE ALIVE to Christ
And you will be made
NEW again
In this life


CHRIST RESURRECTED
OUR lives can be resurrected
BY UNITING our crosses to Christ's
In this life


You will be made
NEW AGAIN


“As Christ
Was RAISED up
From the dead
By the GLORY of the FATHER


Even so
We shall RISE again” Romans 6:4


“Therefore
IF any man
Be in Christ
He is a NEW CREATION


OLD things are passed away
BEHOLD-all things
BECOME NEW 2 Corinthians 5:17


CHRIST RESURRECTED
You too
Can resurrect-in this life
By UNITING your crosses to Christ


ALL things are made NEW though Christ
OUR LIVES ARE RESURRECTED
