Well, of course, Christians are expected to keep the peace. But what we actually say, quoting 1 Cor. We should repent our sins and turn to God our Father, for if we do not change things will get worse and finally collapse or explode. That's the first part of the message. We are created and saved to celebrate our human life here on earth and in all time to come.
Sin is sin, because it hinders and blocks that celebration.
That's why murder, envy, hatred, theft, injustice, exploitation, loose human and sexual relations, corruption, and neglecting and abandoning our children and our parents are all sin. We do need to be converted, but not with the nagging idea in our head that after our conversion life should be dull, monochrome and monotone. This Easter we will gather to celebrate the victory of Christ over death, to help our children and grandchildren share our faith that Jesus is alive, and to declare that Jesus Christ is Lord indeed. Each one of us received many prayers and items in a bag or on our bed when we made our weekend. Many of us were overwhelmed that so many people took time out of their busy schedules to pray for us, to remember us, to write to us.
