What does Easter mean for each one of us? Does it have any deeper meaning in our life? Or is it over with the liturgical celebration of the event?Easter means that Jesus is alive in our midst. He is risen and he is alive.It makes us realize that we are not alone in the pathways of life. We have a companion, a protector, a savior walking beside us.He has conquered the power of evil, of sin and death.He is the Lord of the universe.
However harsh the world may be to us, whatever may be the nature of our sufferings in the world, whoever may be the person who has hurt us in our life, they do not have the last word in our life. We can overcome the impact of all those evil influences as long us we trust in the Lord, keep Him close to us and experience his presence in our life.
When the tomb is empty, when the expereinces of life are bitter, when we think there is no light at the end of the tunnel, resurrection reminds us that everything is not over and that Jesus is waiting to receive us in his arms.
We can have the same experience that Mary Magdalene had.Easter should make us say like her, I have seen the Lord. I am not afraid any more, I have confidence in my life. Nothing can take away peace from my heart.
Let this Easter be a new beginning in life, a life based on love and forgivenss. Those who come into contact with our life may know that we believe in the Lord Jesus who is alive in our midst. Let every word or action of us send forthe the message that our Lord is alive to protect all of us.
