Our faith and belief is in the Risen Christ, that God, in the form of His Son, came to redeem and secure our release from sins. Having secured our release, bridged the gap and rekindled the bond between God and man, he is now at the right hand of the Father. In his absence, he has sent the Holy Spirit to guide, lead and watch over us until he comes again.
Christians must remember-the good Lord is no longer crucified, the cross cannot hold him, the tomb cannot enslave him. No evil can hold him! He has defeated Death! He has Arisen! The mission has been accomplished ! Who are we to depict him otherwise?
The spirit of God rests upon his redeemed. And the redeemed has to move forward - actioning his teachings and commandments- putting into practice, Love and Charity, letting good works glorify his holy name- Christ arisen and very much alive. That is significant because Christianity, is walking in the Way and the Truth, into the Doorway of life.
Two things followers of Christ must bear in mind, 1) the redemption of sins (and that can never be obscured-should never be forgotten)2) but greater still, the acknowledgement, the proclamation to the whole wide world " Our God is risen, he is alive! .Let us not crucify him forever, let us start acknowledging him as the Arisen Lord for that is the faith and belief that upholds Christianity.
That is what gives the power, the hope,strengthening of faith and meaning to the mission of Love and Charity, . That is what glorifies his mighty name.
Because He is Arisen, hope arises and leads us into LIFE!
