The Risen Christ

The most glorious message to all mankind is the Resurrection of Christ Jesus, the fulfillment of a new beginning for a new life. The Mystery of His Kingship that threatened Herod to kill many babies of ages 2 years & below during His Birth has now been cleared. The Divine Authority w/c brought hostility & arrogant questioning of the leaders, chief priests, & kings has now been answered. All the harsh accusation, confusion against Him that disunited the people has now been justified. The bitterness, brokenness, excessive pain, trauma that the Blessed Mother had been endured has now been healed. The immeasurable sinfulness that Jesus has absolved since His Birth up to His Most Precious Death has now been carried simultaneously w/ His Resurrection.

The Resurrection is only the beginning of the history of our salvation w/c the continuity shall be teamed up by each & every one of us. There's no more Part II of Conception, Passion, Crucifixion that will follow. Jesus has been giving us the grace to discern our own freewill, the will to adopt the beauty of the goodness that the world could offer rather than the follies of wealth, malice, anger, lies that it promotes.

Sexual pleasure, power of authority, revenge, abundant ownership are pleasurable but the Resurrection of our souls w/ the pure character w/c Jesus had been characterized is the most pleasurable & incomparable gift that we could receive after all the difficulties & endurance of painful process of holiness.

I believe it's not that easy & quick to dump an illicit affair, to be conscientious in all our undertakings, to free from bitterness & grudge, to give up wealth that's beyond personal need, to forget the most disastrous offenses made against us, but the mind & heart together w/ the boundless grace & mercy that have been given to us are very powerful to conquer all of those. Those that we have been working brought by the enticement of our eyes whether pure or impure are only part of the products of what the mind can do. What has been left in the mind power can conquer all those impurities. The key to be conquered by holiness is to take one step away, until we reach its fullness.

The Risen Jesus was never immunized from sufferings given that He is the Son of God w/c means that there's no other way but to be led by the Ultimate Image of journey towards resurrection, Jesus Himself. Yes, we can do it through team effort of works & prayers w/c shall be strengthened by His Grace, by His Providence, by His Miracle, by His Bountiful Love.

Matthew 28:1-10 After the Sabbath, as the first of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene & the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, & sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning & his clothing was white as snow. The guards were shaken w/ fear of him & became like dead men. Then the angel said to the women in reply, "Do not be afraid. I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for He has been raised just as He said. Come & see the place where He lay. Then go quickly & tell His disciples, "He has been raised from the dead, & He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold I have told you. Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, & ran to announce this to His disciples. And behold Jesus met them on their way & greeted them. They approached, embraced His feet, & did Him homage. The Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee & there they will see me."

Revelation 20:5-10 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. This is the first resurrection. Blessed & holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over these; they will be priests of God & of Christ, & they will reign w/ Him for the thousand years. When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth. Gog & Magog to gather them from battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. They invaded the breadth of the earth & surrounded the camp of the holy ones & the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven & consumed them. The Devil who hand led them astray was thrown into the pool of fire & sulfur, where the beast & the false prophet were. There they will be tormented day & night forever & ever.
