Posted by Nikolov on April 17, 2001, 21:25:42 The message reads that Christ's Resurrection is the greatest event in the history of the human kind. It is the greatest and fundamental truth of our religion. If Christ did not resurrect then our sermon and religion is empty. Many had seen and witnessed this unique event in Jerusalem among the accusers, among the soldiers, guards of the Christ's grave and many many othersE/P> Now, at the beginning of the third millennium, taking into consideration everything that our resurrected God has given to us, visible and convincible, in this 2000 years, can we confirm that we have seen the resurrected Christ? Can we beloved worshipers, after twenty centuries unity of the human with the God, confess that we have seen God and that we live together in immortality with the God from Golgotha? Can we not speak before testimony of the women founding the Christ's grave empty, before the testimony of the Apostles; can we not see the presence of the resurrected in these 2000 years in the whole history of the mankind? Did we not feel the strength of the resurrection in the spiritual growth of the nations, in bright ideas of the mankind, that are deeply inspired by eternal messages of the Gospel? Did we not see the resurrected in His Church, which He had found upon His suffering and crucifixion, upon His death and resurrection; Did we not see God in our past, present and future; in the lives of our Christian generations that had left us an example - through the measure of love to cherish the religion and fatherland, to cherish the people as a confirmation of our resurrected joy. For this reason, in days of joint temptations, let's find strength with God's help, for national and spiritual unity, let's make efforts to reject misunderstandings and mistrust for our mutual interests in order to surpass the differences and to build relations for keeping of the peace and the dignity of all, between the Macedonian people and everywhere in the world. We can not be devoted to God if we do not show that we are philanthropists! Reconciliation is bliss both for the life on earth and for eternal unity with the God! But defending the fatherland is also a duty and obligation for everyone! It can be defended firstly and mostly with our unity by giving everyone what one need, certainly "not allowing evil to win, but to turn evil into good." Let's us pray the resurrected Christ to help us to surpass these temptations, in order to be able to rejoice him constantly on His glorious Resurrection now and forever. Amen!
