Christ lives

Because Christ, God, is the true man, will truly die indeed, as human death on the cross. But because it is not just true man, but also true God because life is itself and the source of life, this death was not and could not and be complete at the end.
The crucifixion is victory, but on Good Friday, the victory is hidden; it appears only on Sunday morning. Christ, he rises from the dead and delivers us by his resurrection from anxiety and fear. The victory of the cross is confirmed: love stronger than hatred, life is stronger than death. God himself died and rose from the dead, death lost its power, and death is filled with God. Because Christ is risen from the dead, sulfur is no longer afraid of the darkness and forces of evil in space. I confess every year at the morning Easter service with words attributed to St. Johannes Chrysostomus: Let no one fear death for the death of the Savior, who set us free. Christ rose, and the demons fled. Christ rose, and the angels rejoice. Here, as in other things, the Orthodox is maximal. I repeat with St. Paul: “If Christ was not resurrected because our preaching is useless, and it is also useless our faith. ”(1 Corinthians 15:14). How could we remain Christians? Tans, if I believed that Christianity is based on deception? Just as Christ is insufficient to consider using only for the prophet or the teacher of righteousness, and not for embodied God, it is also not appropriate to explain the resurrection figuratively, how the “spirit” of Christ somehow persists him about students. He who is not the “true God of the true God, “he who has not overcome death by death and resurrection of the dead, cannot be our salvation and our hope. 

Orthodox Christians believe that it was a real resurrection from the dead, in the sense that Christ’s human body was reunited with the human soul and that the tomb remained empty. For our Orthodox, if we are dealing with Czech political dialogue, it is one of the most important relying on those who believe in the resurrection and those
who do not believe in them? “You are witnesses of this …” (Lk 24:48) 
He sent us all over the world and preached to all the creation of the message of resurrections. Father  Alexander Schliemann says: From the very beginning, Christianity has been a proclamation of joys, the only real joys on earth … Without proclamation, the summer of joy is Christianity inconceivable. This joy makes it possible the church has overcome the world, and this victory will be lost when he ceases to bear witness to this joy. From all, The accusation against Christians is the most terrible one Nietzsche said when he said Christians did not joy … “Behold, I bring you great joy” – so the gospel begins, and ends, “And they worshiped him, and they returned to Jerusalem with great joy … ” (Lk 2:10, 24,52) It is up to us to enjoy this great the joys were aware.

The older man always said: Proclaim Jesus among all a name with modesty and humble heart, confess to Him your weaknesses, and He will become your strength. From Tales of the Desert Fathers How easy it is to say with each exhalation: my Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. I bless you, mine Lord Jesus, help me. St. Makarios from Egypt They all sank into the dark gaping grave hopes, plans, habits, reflections, and – above all – meaning: meaning of life. Everything has lost its meaning, but new, the incomprehensible sense in me suddenly began again grow … And I think only who had this the experience of eternity at least once, who understood which way to go, at least once, who has seen the One, who walks in front of him, at least once – he knows he is
hard to turn away from this sieve: such a person does All the comfort seems fleeting, every company useless if it lacks a Single Companion in it carrying a cross. Mother and Mary of Paris e (written immediately after her child’s death) In our opinion, truth is not a system of thought. The truth is not created. The truth is. Christ is the truth. The truth is a person. Our understanding of the truth does not limit the truth. He crosses us; we will never reach her full understanding. The search for truth is the search for the person of Christ. The truth is the mystery of the person of Christ, and because it is personal, the secret is inextricably linked with the event: with event meeting. Secrets and meetings are the same. In the opinion of orthodoxy, the secret is an accurate and simple reality. It is Christ and the encounter with him. The Lord has become everything to you, and you must become everything.: Blessed be Your glory! How good that man can know Your divinity as good as they can celestial beings glorify Your humanity. The inhabitants of heaven are amazed to see how small you have become and earthlings seeing how you are elevated. St. Syrian Ephraim.
