You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. With the glorious resurrection God forgives our capacity for evil by undoing a typically human evil act. God returns to human life in the person of Christ after ordinary people like you and me had killed him for heresy. Now the Spirit of the Risen Christ surrounds you, sustains you, invites you to seek him, and promises to live in you and to lead you to new life even after you swoon in death. Imagine letting some of that change start happening now.
Hope is more than an emotion.
It is a way of living, and, when the time comes, a way of dying, with grace and joy and strength. Please read VCBC's copyright notice. Image by permission of The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt .
