He is Risen!
Why do I believe in the risen Lord? Not because I have seen him, but because other told me of him. My parents, teachers, friends, as well as preachers, speakers and writers. Because of them I believe.
Why is this night different from all other nights? It is because in this night, in Him we overcome death. He is risen! We talk about church conflicts and problems, but a simply direct announcement of the resurrection is seldom heard, except in pulpits and other "safe" places. But just as our love for others grows cold when we no longer declare this love to them, so our faith in the risen Lord gradually fades if we remain silent about him.
We have to keep saying to each other, "The Lord is risen! Risen indeed!" It is not enough to say that once or twice. We need to say it to each other constantly so that our faith in the risen Christ can be kept alive and we can live that faith always more deeply.
