Christ the faithful One, the Holy One who loved God and humankind to the end was raised form the dust to dwell securely in the realm of heaven itself. It is this same Holy One who promises life eternal to all who come to God in faith. To dust we would return as many people fear and some assert if God is not in the picture. That's it, nothing more. Ah, but with Christ and in Christ and through Christ we can know today and every day that we belong to God and, that in the end, to God we shall return.
Life is good.
Life is transforming, never ending. From Lent to Easter. From life to LIFE eternal. This is the firm hope upon which we stand through faith. Make this your stance this Lenten season.
