J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of “Lord of the Rings” said to C.S. Lewis, a famous theologian who was a non-believer, “The reason why you do not believe in the work of Jesus Christ is because you are lack the imagination of love.”

Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself out of Love. He willingly and unreservedly gave up His life for us.

His is the Lord of Life. Naturally, He does not belong to Death. However, He was willing to go through the door of Death in order to reopen the gateway to Heaven for us. However, the followers of Christ are not exempted from walking the bitter Way of the Cross, for Jesus has said, “Anyone who does not carry his Cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”

The resurrected Christ certainly does not wish for mankind to suffer under the cross forever. So, how can we live out the Joy and Freedom that our resurrected Christ has brought to the world?

The simple way is to lead our lives positively every moment; always remind ourselves to entrust all our troubles and sorrow in God’s hands, to be dealt with by Him. We can then concentrate on what we should do, and to love the people around us. What is important to us in life is to follow God’s will. In doing so, the Peace of Christ belongs to us.
