Christ is Risen! On this great holiday of the Resurrection of Christ, ours and ears are filled with the name of Jesus Christ, the Resurrected Lord, and the radiant joy raises our heart where the Resurrection stands, where the Word was originally, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1: 1). To see that the Lord is a joy that has no comparison, and one is given in our day only to angels in heaven. During the life of our Lord on earth, however, the hearts of His disciples were filled with joy, when in the divine words and miracles made by the Savior, His glory, glory as the only-begotten Father (John 1:14) was perceived, and the entire community rejoiced all glorious things , which was made by him (Luke 13:17). The Risen Lord himself was interested in the days of His Resurrection in the day of joy for us. The caravans who came to the Tomb and found out about the Resurrection of the Lord quickly emerged from the coffin with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. And as he went to say to his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying: Rejoice! (Matthew 28: 8-9), and the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord (John 20:20). And they rejoiced when Christ, the Heavenly Holy Spirit, came to them through the locked doors, taking power over heaven and earth, and brought the kingdom of heaven to the ground, whose intimacy he preached. We are not allowed to see us with our physical eyes, as His disciples saw Him. but our joy is nevertheless great, for when the Lord did not see and touch Thomas, he praised those who do not require to see: Blessed are those who have not seen and still hate the believers (John 20:29). We believe in the Risen Lord, not seeing Him, and that our joy is not just a cool enthusiasm. The Apostle Peter speaks of the true joy of those who have not seen, but who believes: Jesus Christ, who did not see what you love. Although you do not see Him now, but believe, you rejoice with unspeakable and full glory (1 Peter 1: 8). However, the Church does not deny the opportunity to see the Lord and even says about the reality of such vision. When she singsseeing the Resurrection of Christ, let's worship the Holy Lord Jesus ... "it means, of course, contemplating the hidden kingdom of grace, pure heart, for they will see God (Matt Post Field prays for the faithful so that God our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, can give the spirit of wisdom and revelation in his knowledge, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened (Ephesians 1: 17-18). The view passes through prayer, and the Lord himself has given us the ways and means to achieve this vision: he who has my commandments and holds they are the one who loves me, and he who loves He will love My Father, the Manifesto for Himself (John 14:21). By revealing Himself to the invisible, but truly and truly pure in heart, He brings them peace and joy in front of her, His inner light of grace and the dawn of a day which is not observes God's commandments, loving His life and active love, and our Man in Heaven loves us and the Lord Jesus Christ will manifest Himself for us. On the day when it celebrates His glorious Resurrection, the Holy Church refers to the words of St. John the Evangelist who tells us we are about divine not the hidden greatness and the heavenly glory of the Risen Word God and our souls have risen from this earth, higher than the sun and stars. John sees the Son of God in the secret of his premature birth, telling us about the beginning of all undertakings, the Word that is spoken and generated in eternity by the eternal father of the Word, and given everything else, it contains the life and source of all living beings, and this life was, is and will always be a light for all people. This Light broke out for a person in Paradise and was not completely hidden on earth, was not extinguished by idolatry, showing himself at night in the law of Moses and at dawn on the prophets. And finally, as the sun and day, the Incarnate Word is made in full light of truth as a life-giving and wonderful life in our Lord Jesus Christ, in His words and in His works, in His voluntary suffering and death, and above all in His Resurrection, we saw His glory, glory as the only begotten Father, full of race and truth of John 1:14). These high theological truths make Easter the greatest of all holidays, and our joy and joy are unlimited. Let the light that the Risen Lord shed so seriously on us that illuminates our souls, and our Easter may be joyful to be joy that is spiritual, pure, and peaceful. The Lord is risen with life and active love, as it was sought for warriors, apostles and disciples on the road to Emmaus! God always Remember, I'll say, nurse (Phil.4: 4). Amen. A.S.N.
