The Victory of Easter

The dying words of the famous composer Ludwig Van Beethoven were “Friends applaud, the comedy is over.” There is something haunting about these words. They reveal the insult of death. We know we are not made to die, and yet death comes like a mocking joke. No matter what we do or accomplish, death comes for us all, ignoring our will to go on, and insulting the lives we have lived. But love has come, and God will have the last laugh!

Reflection

What is it you fear most about death? What power do you believe it has over you? Lift your eyes to the cross and behold the Savior who defeated death once and for all!

Prayer

Father, help me to understand that this life is not the end. Remind me that, in Christ, I will live forever. I worship you, Jesus; for the cross and for taking the sting of death upon yourself. Thank you that your love has come!
