Christ says ,”I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I
am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death
and Hades.” ( Revelation 1,18).

These words are the theme for our church this year at Eastertide. They have been the theme several times before. They will be our theme eternally.

We human beings killed Jesus Christ. This is our work, still today.

But Christ is alive for ever and ever. That is God’s work, still today.

Anyone with a Christian faith who looks at our current world and society will understand this, still today.

And then we still need to deal with death and hell. They exist, still today.

If one is paying attention to life in this world and to one’s own life, one will understand this too, still today.

BUT Jesus Christ has closed the door to death and hell for those who believe in him!

Amen.

I wish all of you a happy Easter!

Your Dean Manfred Brockmann
