Christ's death on the Cross has brought spiritual health to mankind. Death entered the world through Adam's sin, but we have been given life once again through Jesus Christ. We are saved through the passion of Christ.
The highlight of the entire church year reminds us that God's grace from heaven is bestowed upon men of earth. God gives us the sacraments as our spiritual nourishment. We must receive them fervently and devoutly.
It was absolutely necessary that Christ should suffer. Saint Paul reminds us that "the author of life Himself was made perfect through suffering." Christ's glorification is His death on the Cross.
Now Christ is risen and will never die again! This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
