The Easter Message<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Easter morning especially, two images come to my mind. They sum up the story of Easter. The first is of Christ abandoned and dying of the cross. The other is of the empty tomb, a sign that death has been overcome. Christ died that we might live. He laid down his life to show his love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter challenges us each year. Do we believe that Christ truly rose from the dead? Belief in the resurrection is the bedrock of Christianity. It is at the heart of the Easter message.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life with God<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the risen Christ death has lost its hold over mankind. Death is not for us the end of the story. It is the beginning of a new chapter. There is life after death. It is life with God. The purpose of our present life is to prepare for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter is not only concerned with life after death. It has much to say about life here on earth. Life matters. Human life is both of the body and of the spirit; in our present state each depends on the other. Life depends on love. Life gives love its real meaning and its purpose. Our Easter faith assures us that life will overcome death and love will triumph over hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter does not take suffering away from us, nor does it save us from physical death. But suffering and death are now different, because Christ suffered and died. Indeed, before Christ rose from the dead there was only despair at the center of pain. Now, and because of Christ, there is hope. When we know pain or depression, when we feel abandoned, or when we are dying, we remember that Christ had the same experiences. Our suffering brings us closer to Christ and closer to God.<\/span><\/p>\n

P\u00e5skebudskapet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(Oversatt av S.G.)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

P\u00e5 p\u00e5skemorgen tenker jeg spesielt p\u00e5 to bilder. De oppsummerer beretningen om p\u00e5sken. Den f\u00f8rste – den forlatte og d\u00f8ende Kristus p\u00e5 korset. Den andre – den tomme graven, et tegn p\u00e5 at d\u00f8den er overvunnet. Kristus d\u00f8de for at vi skulle f\u00e5 leve. Han ofret livet sitt for \u00e5 vise sin kj\u00e6rlighet.<\/span><\/p>\n

P\u00e5sken utfordrer oss hvert \u00e5r. Tror vi at Kristus virkelig sto opp fra de d\u00f8de? Oppstandelsestro er grunnlaget for kristendommen. Det er kjernen i p\u00e5skebudskapet.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Livet med Gud<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I den oppstandne Kristus har d\u00f8den mistet sitt grep om menneskehet. D\u00f8den er for oss ikke slutten. Det er begynnelsen p\u00e5 et nytt kapittel. Det er liv etter d\u00f8den. Det er livet med Gud. Hensikten med v\u00e5rt n\u00e5v\u00e6rende liv er \u00e5 forberede oss p\u00e5 det.<\/span><\/p>\n

P\u00e5sken er ikke opptatt bare av livet etter d\u00f8den. Det har mye \u00e5 si om livet her p\u00e5 jorden. Livet betyr noe. Menneskelivet er b\u00e5de kroppslig og sjelelig; i v\u00e5r n\u00e5v\u00e6rende tilstand avhenger det ene av det andre. Livet avhenger av kj\u00e6rligheten. Livet gir kj\u00e6rligheten sin virkelige mening og hensikt. V\u00e5r p\u00e5sketro forsikrer oss om at livet vil overvinne d\u00f8den og kj\u00e6rligheten vil seire over hatet.<\/span><\/p>\n

P\u00e5sken tar ikke lidelse vekk fra oss, og redder oss heller ikke fra fysisk d\u00f8d. Men lidelse og d\u00f8d er n\u00e5 annerledes, fordi Kristus led og d\u00f8de. Ja, f\u00f8r Kristus oppsto fra de d\u00f8de, var det bare fortvilelse. N\u00e5, og p\u00e5 grunn av Kristus, er det h\u00e5p. N\u00e5r vi kjenner smerte eller depresjon, n\u00e5r vi f\u00f8ler oss forlatt eller n\u00e5r vi d\u00f8r, husker vi at Kristus har hatt de samme opplevelsene. V\u00e5r lidelse bringer oss n\u00e6rmere Kristus og n\u00e6rmere Gud.<\/span><\/p>\n
