Dear brothers and sisters!
God gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. God took the image of a man, lived on earth among people, as an ordinary man, preaching the word of Truth so that people learned to live properly, to understand the meaning of their existence on the Earth properly, to educate their children properly, to build their family life properly, to interact with their neighbors and relatives properly - to live in order to inherit the eternal life. At the same time so that people could accept the Truth of God as the law of life and build the Kingdom of God on the Earth - the Kingdom of harmony, justice, love and order. So the Lord has brought the most perfect form of how every state and every person living on this earth should build their lives before God to live in justice and inherit the eternal life. But the human sin wins and captures strongly the human feelings.
People, listening to Jesus Christ, rejoiced when He preached, for the grace of God was descending upon them. But when those people returned to their earthly life and their earthly thoughts, they evil force descended upon them. It filled their hearts with hatred for Jesus and then they forgot about all the good things He made them and shouted immediately: "Crucify him! Crucify him "(Luke, XXIII: 21). People did not want to live in harmony, did not want to live with God, so they got back under the wave of curses, the wave of persecution.
So, the Jewish people were expelled from their country. And now, coming back there, they still cannot find a peaceful and happy life there. So every nation which curses Jesus Christ and His truth lives miserably and has no hope for the happy future.
We should take a lesson to build our lives on the example of these people, the example of this nation, understanding what happens to those who do not want to live following the commandments of the Creator of the Universe. We should inherit the teachings of Christ in our heart and our life. And then, as Christ was resurrected, we will also obtain the resurrection and go to the eternal life. To do this, let us build our lives in the God's Truth. To do that, there are angels next to us, who help us, there this power of God, which will always be with us and will always fill us.
So, let's work, my dear, not only to resurrect in future, but so that our Ukraine would resurrect now. As nature awakens in spring to life, so that Ukraine would awaken to spiritual life and rejects sinful life, which defiles our soul. Let's pray, so that God would hear our prayers and defeat with His resurrection all the evil, which now hangs over our country and over many countries of the world. For Christ is risen and wants us to be risen also.
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
