The Easter Christians remember Jesus' journey to the cross and his resurrection. Why?
They do not because they like the story and enjoy the heroic stories. Nor does it linger on the suffering of Jesus or because suffering and seeing them be of comfort. The difference in this story with other history, is that what happened to Jesus in the past somehow still happening in the present. It is not the same thing that Christians remember Jesus makes memories that anyone can make Gandhi, Socrates and Arturo Prat. Christians remember the way of the cross because they believe that the crucified risen and lives.
Christians follow Jesus in his passion to share in his resurrection. How can we understand something? They expect eternal life beyond death, and now living under the same love that has conquered death. If the cross Jesus led to the end the love of God for each one of us, including our enemies, the Christians overcome death as let themselves be loved by God, forgive those who offend and are working to overcome all enmity. Christian salvation and creates a new life in this history of ours, which normally prevails mistrust and fear of others, defense against the other and selfishness. The resurrection of Jesus is recognizable where there is a new way of life characterized by mutual trust between men hope in the future despite any difficulties and love for those who do not seem to deserve to be loved: the despised and those who more we have offended. This is new of Jesus that Christians remember and relive Easter novelty that breaks the well known story of the "eye for eye, tooth for tooth," the story of resentment and revenge.
But the passion and resurrection of Christ does not concern only Christians. The so-called Paschal Mystery of Jesus, the Church believes has cosmic scope. If the Incarnation of the Son of God we know nothing human is alien to God, that God is in solidarity with humanity to the ultimate consequences, the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ we know that where there is a man, a woman who suffers, suffering Christ, that where a woman, a man asks for forgiveness, but Christ that drives reconciliation. The entire cosmos is christified. Also in the Buddhists, Muslims, atheists and those who have never heard of Nazareth or Jerusalem, it is Christ who suffers from a cross when either hungry and Christ is resurrected when a neighbor who feeds them. Attentive to the needs of the poor, the bishops have to shake your campaign for women heads of household with enormous sacrifices "for the pot" every day. No need to find out whether she has made mistakes in his life, whether Catholic or evangelical. If the crucified Christ, the propaganda says, "it too."
Easter Christians make him the pain of Christ for the world Christ suffered and ask yourself what they can do to lower the cross. In each of the masses of Christians thank God because Jesus continues to fight for justice and peace in the world, and her prayer and action are added to your cause. Published
