Easter during Corona times
(3103210952-1015,0204210806-0830)
Already the second year in a row
we have to celebrate Easter
under government restrictions
due to the Corona virus.
Fear and loneliness
dominate the day of many
who would usually be joyful
and get together with the extended family.
Never the less
we want to reflect
upon the Easter happening
even if we have to lay aside
many of our traditions.
Sorrow and joy
are so close together at Easter
like on no other holiday.
The murder of the Creator
by his creation on Good Friday
was the biggest triumph
of the adversary.
He believed
that he will be the only ruler
of this world from now on.
But he had forgotten,
that the Creator is bigger than death
and pursues his goal
with sorrow, misery
and even death.
The victory came early on Sunday morning.
Jesus rose from the dead
yes he lives!
He has conquered the power
over sin and death victoriously.
No human would have been able
to accomplish that.
As the replacement for you and me
did Jesus take on the sorrow and death
on Good Friday
so that we can have fellowship with the father.
This has been massively disturbed
ever since the fall of mankind.
The reward for the sin of man is death
and this is what Jesus took upon himself
as you and my representative.
On Good Friday we receive forgiveness
and on Easter Sunday eternal life
was given to us.
Let us receive this gift
and not forget the reason
of true joy
in times of Corona!
