April 4, 2010: The Resurrection is Within You – Michael Hidalgo

We can say we believe this or that. But the truth is that what we say we believe about God, life, love, or anything for that matter is often a false representation of who we are. We need moreso to look at the way we live our daily life. How do we treat our friends? What do we privately scheme in the recesses of our minds? How much do we consume? The answers to those questions are what penetrate us deeply … getting to what we really believe. 

 

When we go there, that is often a difficult depressing place. Perhaps this is why Paul frequently calls followers of Jesus to die and rise again with Christ. To experience a rebirth a new life. But we cannot experience this new life without dying first … and we have to die every day so that every day we can be reborn. 

And if we are a people who are reborn and experience new life everyday, then we become a people of the resurrection. Which means that wherever the people of God are, there is the resurrection. So we ask, “Where is the resurrection true?”
