Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1 Peter 1:3.

We might wonder how the life of a man who walked this earth 2,000 years ago can concern us. However, it was Jesus Christ, who opened the way for a fresh relationship with God, a new attitude towards life and hope regarding death and deliverance from judgment.

When we have to do with Jesus Christ, we are not face to face with an ordinary human being but before God Himself, who shows us the way of salvation. God chose to act supremely by the intermediary of Jesus Christ through His death and resurrection. Jesus made a new relationship between God and ourselves possible. The crucifixion of Jesus is not just an event of past history. It has since constituted the foundation on which the believer's new life rests (cf. 1 Peter 2:24). Without the work on the cross there would be no salvation for us today. Christ's sacrifice was the price of the redemption that God offers everybody.

The fact is that in Jesus Christ there is something attractive that has survived centuries and intrigued countless persons. His teaching about love cannot leave us unfeeling. The authority with which He speaks on man's deep-seated problems challenges us. His death seems to us so unjust, the testimonies of His resurrection so amazing. Yet it is precisely His death and resurrection that make what concerns Him my own concern. Do I believe it?
