We
live in this world in the ups and downs of our personal existence, in
the ups and downs of constantly changing times and circumstances.
We live in this world from birth to death, and in between life occurs with joy and sorrow, success and failure, love and hate, beginning and end.
There
once was a man. He was born like us, in the same way he lived in the ups
and downs of this life: God’s son. Jesus Christ. Through him it became
clear that this life is not everything, that although we die we will
rise again to new life. His death on the cross made God’s love clear.
We are taken into death, but also into resurrection and new life.
We worship you, Lord
Jesus Christ, and praise you. For through your holy cross you have saved
the world.
