2024 Easter Sunday – The Empty Tomb
Jesus was no longer in the tomb. The tomb for me represents our doubt. Our fear and our resistance to God. I understand that many people undergo a sort of crisis of faith. We know friends, we know some friends who went to Church before, who have trust and faith to the Lord and yet they went from having faith to apathy towards God. I also experienced this kind of crisis. Why do I say have faith in God and be loved? Because in all my past experiences, it was faith that sustain me in the most diffiuclt moments and in the most difficutl problema in life. It was not I who sustain the faith, it was the faith that sustained me.
