Whenever people are facing difficulties, they may seem to think that there is no way for them to come out from these difficulties. They tend to imagine themselves in the dark moments of their lives. As a result, they will try every means desperately to cope with their difficulties. Some seek help from fortune tellers; some try their luck through lottery; some even go for 'Ah Long' (loan shark) or other means which eventually cannot solve their difficulties.
We will not be able to come out from our difficulties unless we turn to Jesus our saviour. It may sound unrealistic to the world. Yet for us His believers, Jesus is the Lord who loves us and gives us Hope in the dark moments of our lives. Similarly in the eyes of the world, the passion and death of Jesus were His darkest moments of His life. Yet, He shows us His believers that His resurrection brings us hope. Indeed, passion and death without resurrection is tragedy. Jesus Christ, who has died and resurrected, is the light that shines in the darkness. He shows us the way when the world says to us that there is no way. Indeed, “anyone who follows me will not be walking in the darkness; he will have the light of life,” says the Lord.
As we are approaching Holy week, let us not only anticipate Christ’s passion and death, but above all His resurrection which gives us sure hope for all who have faith in Him. He will not put us down if we believe in Him. He is the light that the darkness cannot overcome – even the darkness of death! Let us continue to ask ourselves, “How can I be another Christ to bring His light to those who lives in darkness?” Indeed, there are many wounded souls who are unable to come out of their darkness unless they receive the light of Christ and are touched by His love.
