Is Christ Alive in Our Lives: An Easter Reflection

Have we become so "politically correct" that even amongst ourselves as Christians, we find it easier to talk about "God" rather than Jesus?

As we approach Easter - the central foundation of our Christian faith - the day that Christ rose from the dead - the day that we celebrate the LIVING Christ - shouldn't it be a day that we confirm Christ living in us? On this Holy Day, I think it is important to ask ourselves, "Are we keeping Christ alive in our lives?"

"My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not one of  those who treats Christ's death as meaningless."  Galatians 2:20-21
