Celebrating Hope!
2nd November, 2015: The Day for the deceased
Just recently I came across a funny conversation as part of a script I was reviewing. One asks the other- what happens when you bury a mango or a coconut in the ground. The other says a mango or a coconut tree grows. Then he retorts, 'if that is so, why doesn't a human tree grow when we bury a human being?' The conversation ends there on a comic note but isn't that what we believe?
Today we celebrate the hope that Jesus brought to us: that we have overgrown the traditional understanding that the wages of sin is death. Because in Christ Jesus we have been given the guarantee of life eternal. For us death is not the end but just a bend beyond which awaits something that we can imagine : the glorious life in the Lord.
