The suffering of Jesus and indicators of His mission were revealed at this time. Now we know the truth it is also revealed to us in everyday life. See the rising tide of love in our lives and the ebb of evil. Let us participate in that mission today.
It is hard to not to reflect on the massacre of the innocents without thinking of those children and their protective teachers in Newtown CT. The mourning of a lost child is something to have experience of to truly understand. How can we outlive our children? We lost our first-born son shortly after he was born, and it was too much to endure.
The human emotions of loss, grief, misunderstanding, even anger all come rushing back after 30 years.
Jesus was saved from this massacre only to give Himself as the sacrificial lamb for all mankind. We can rest in peace in the knowledge that all children called are innocents that will be by His side forever, looking down and looking after us till we see them again in heaven.
The Resurrection is perhaps the most important foundation of our faith. The ultimate act was one of both revelation and proof that Jesus was indeed not just God, but God incarnate and our savior.
Let us imagine being in that empty tomb right now … feeling His presence. How can he fill that presence fully today in our lives.
