REFLECTION.
on being alerted by Mary Magdalene, Peter and John ran to the lords tomb to see if the body has been stolen by someone -a hypothesis that was ruled out by what they saw there. They re-read the event in a new way, in the light of the scripture.

The faithful of Christ have entered into this new reality and live and move in its light. The real newness is Christ who came into the world, lived with Humans, died and rose again and is ever present.

It is in him that the interior human being is renewed every day (2cor 4:6). The exterior man, the old reality, needs to be broken to open up the way for the birth of the new human reality,, the fruit of redemption in Christ. "to put on christ" is one of the many expressions coined by Paul to present this mysterious reality of grace. To put on Christ means to enter into him and to live in him so that our life becomes hidden in him and with him in God. Thus ,"anyone who is in Christ is a new creature" . The Christian is dead to sin and risen with Christ to new life.

Christ rose again for our justification, the power is in the resurrection, remember there is a reason Christ died for you, he rose to save you from sin and it's effects :death and separation from God. His death has made it possible for you never to be separated from God,we have free access to God because Jesus died for us. Christ died for perfecting people, those who are in the process of being perfect; not for perfect people.
God is faithful enough to forgive you, come to the Cross for your salvation.
Jesus died to deliver us from the power of darkness. (Col 1:9-12)
He died so that we may reign in this life. (Romans 5:17)
He brought life and immortality into light
(2 Timothy 1:7-10)
