Sixth Sunday of Easter

The Resurrection

Easter is not about bunnies and Springtime

It is about what is going to happen to us when we die?

Easter is all about Eternal Life. 

The Son of God became flesh in Mary’s Womb. Jn. 1:14

And When He died on the cross;

His Soul was separated from His Body.

His Soul went to His Father to whom He commended His Spirit. Lk. 23:46

And His Body was laid in the tomb. Mt. 27:60

But on the Third Day;

His soul was reunited not with a dead and decayed body;

But with a glorified Body. 

Being made in the image and likeness of God

We too are made up of Body and Soul when we were conceived in our mother’s womb. 

That is how we live in this world. 

Body and soul united. 

But when we die;

Our bodies and souls are separated. 

Our body goes into the grave. 

While our soul lives on in the presence of God. 

And just as the Soul of Jesus was reunited with a glorious body at His resurrection on the Third Day; Lk. 18:33

So on the Last Day,Jn. 6:39

Our souls will be reunited with our bodies;

Not a new body but the same one, only glorified. 

Our bodies will be transformed like that of the Risen Lord. 

No longer suspect to corruption 

And we will shine like the sun. 1 Cor. 15:43

We will behold God face to face 1Cor. 13:12

live in God’s presence forever. 

For those who do not love God and have not kept His commandments being in God’s presence will be Hell. 

But For those who love God and have kept His commandments 

Being in God’s presence will be Heaven !
