In the past few weeks I was spending time with
My God by myself, with my family, and listening to sermons. I was pondering
over the thoughts about His sacrifice in the cross, for mankind, for each one
of us. I was reexamining my walk with God; the growth I had in multiple
spiritual understandings. In the past decade by His Grace, I learned many
matters related to Christian life. My understandings have been transformed
radically from feminist to submissive, to choice to life... the list goes on.
Every time these transformations happen, it is like a birth of a new idea in my
life. I am a person with strong opinions and hold fast to them, when it changes
it is a process. But this one truth have been unchanged that God died for me
and rose again triumphing over death. This is the truth that set me free, this
is the truth that made me meet Him, this is the truth that made me yearn for
Him, and this is the truth that presses me to follow Him. And, I asked God to
give me some profound understanding about it. Easter seems to be a very stable
celebration for me, the Joy is same, and the reason is same. I needed something
different, and asked God for more. After listening to many different sermons
and explanations. I came to this conclusion, it is simple, it is profound, and
more than that it is unchanging. It is a simple truth for a transformed-skeptic,
it is a profound mystery for scholars who spend their lives decoding His words but
it is unchanging for all. He died and Rose again for me; to give me eternal
life with Him, that never changes. This is a simple and profound truth that met
me when I was a skeptic, and it still gives me an all surpassing joy after ten
years. The reason for Easter never changes that is the beauty of it, it is as
similar as for a naïve Christian, a biblical scholar, and anyone in the
Journey.
I am late in publishing
this, was meant to be published on Easter. He is alive, so we have a reason to
celebrate His resurrection even today. Have a blessed day.
