Christians remember Christ, his crucifixion, death and resurrection on Easter Sunday. Easter is more important than Christmas, but it is not celebrated with as much pomp and festivity. However, the Lenten period and the Easter Sunday mass is a week-long period during which the teachings of Christ, the moment of Christ’s agony and death on the cross are once again experienced by Christians worldwide. The resurrection is a vital moment in the Christian faith, as it shows us that Christ defeated death for all time, and it gives everyone hope that they will rise again to a new life.
There are those who believe and those who do not believe. Some believe and accept the resurrection of Christ as the truth, while others do not care or believe. Ultimately, it is up to every individual to decide their life path, their faith and their destiny in life. All roads lead to Rome, just as all humanity were created for this Earth and will one day return to their Creator.
The resurrection is about death being conquered. It signifies a new birth into a new life. How many times, have we left our old lives and taken on new ones? There are times when we are at the crossroads of life and we decide the path that we need to take. We are all given one life for our soul to live, love and to enjoy on this earth.
We are presented with opportunities to change our lives when we need to. In some instances, we take those opportunities and change our lives, while there are times, we are too hesitant or afraid to make the change.
There are no guarantees in life, that the choices we make will be the right ones. A certain amount of courage and faith is required in order for us to change our lives, as we leave our old ones and move to new lives in this world.
You must first decide to “die” to your old life in order to “resurrect” to a new life, which will be a challenge, but it is always worth trying, as it could lead to success or to a new learning life experience.
Have a Happy Easter and remember that you can change your life, if you want to.
