Easter teaches Jesus became the Christ: What does it mean for the ordinary learner?

Each one of us is called by name and so even God had a name if He wanted to save mankind and so he became Emmanuel (God became man) and his name is Jesus. In Jesus we can identify our human frailties, temptation, suffering and death. In Lent we saw all these events. But in Easter, the Jesus who died did not remain dead but was risen. Jesus became the Christ. For the ordinary learner this is the reason for all the Lenten celebration, that even Jesus had to die to redeem us but Jesus rose from the dead which the Christians hope to experience if we remain Christians.
So today, Easter Sunday, each of us has reason to really rejoice for our life now takes on a significant meaning: to die in Christ is really to rise with him. This alone is the core of every Christian Faith and we should therefore evangelize. Happy Easter to you and you and you!
If there is one reality that is difficult to force, it is inspiration. While this is the state this teacher is in, let me be one of the first mentors to greet you few hours before it finally comes: HAPPY EASTER!
Every moment that comes our way is like another gift given by the Maker. Teaching moments are always there but it is not all the time that we take the moment to heart so everything that we sacrifice for can just go to waste. There are many temptations in life that to go against the desire to succumb to it is beyond you. It is almost as though the Hand of God must first touch you before it sinks into your awareness that He has made His point and you and I have to finally wake up. Listen attentively. Pray.
This Easter, let it be one of the rare moments when the Hand of God finally touches you and I to the realm of change only He can plant into our personhood.
Fellow believers, Happy Easter! Fellow mentors and parents, Celebrate the Resurrection Loved Ones and Experience God's Presence. HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER!!!
