The Resurrection: Joy, Hope, and Salvation
When Jesus was resurrected, becoming for us The Christ, in that moment, the world was changed forever!
Dark was the time when Judas betrayed Jesus, which led to His suffering, crucifixion, and death on the Cross; a time when the faith of His followers was tested. But when the Messiah, Christ, rose on the third day, their prayers were answered, their faith was fulfilled, and their joy overflowed.
We are living in such dark times, and now it is our faith that is being tested. We feel the sting of betrayal. Through our tears and outrage, we better understand how Jesus suffered, and we are drawn closer to Him.
The feeling is like Death–dark, empty, and cold. But as His disciples came to know, we recognize that Jesus is resurrected; therefore, our faith is fortified, our resolve strong! For we live in the Light and have our being in the Love and Mercy of our Savior Christ Jesus.
Christ is Resurrected! Hallelujah!
My major project for the last five years has been to paint the Stations of the Resurrection (Via Lucis: The Way of Light) when Jesus appeared to His disciples beginning on Easter Sunday over a period of 40 days until he ascended and then gifted them with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
