The Liberating Secret

Christ drank the dregs of sin when He was made sin on our behalf, that we might be made His righteousness.  We celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord on Easter Sunday; however every resurrection has to be proceeded by darkness and death.  We, with Christ emerge from the darkness of the grave and despair of Good Friday to bask in the radiance of the Resurrection and rejoice in the victory of our mighty King, who vanquished sin and death forever. ”With shouts of “Alleluia, Christ is risen!” we herald the pivotal moment of human history, for which all of Scripture was a preamble, the moment in which time and eternity collided. With choirs of angels we glimpse the grand extravagance of God’s grace.” And with St. Peter we can say, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter. 1:3).
