And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here.
~St. Augustine
Tomorrow is the holiest day in the Christian world.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the heart and centerpiece of Christian culture.
Over the last couple years, the Christian belief and faith has been tested by many groups both here in this country and around the world.
Christ's admonition to turn the other cheek has been sorely tested.
That is precisely the point: it has been tested and the test has been passed.
The Christian philosophy is one of peace and love and care for both family and neighbor alike.
Christ, who in a short period of time on this earth, taught us to love our neighbor, to help our neighbor and not to kill or persecute them because they have a different set of beliefs.
The promise of Christ's resurrection is a life in the hereafter that will be filled with glory and fulfillment earned by our good works not earned by whom we can kill to promote a faith that is intolerable to those that believe in it.
We wish you a very happy Easter; we pray that you are having the opportunity to share your day with family and friends as you celebrate the true meaning of the light of the world.
