From our Pastor...
We came to church today for many reasons: some of us because it is what we do
every Sunday; others because we were invited by a friend; some because we had
some notion that we “should”. All of us, though, have come into contact with the
greatest piece of news ever reported: “Jesus is not here. He has been
raised!” (Matthew 28:6)
The announcement of the Resurrection is the very reason Christianity exists. Everything Jesus said and
did does not make sense unless we understand who it is that said and did those very things. Jesus’ birth
and early life hold no interest for us if they are not the beginning of a life unlike any other. Christ’s death
on the Cross is just the end of a strange and sad story if He has not gone through death to a new and
indestructible kind of life.
Saint Paul says, “And if Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, your faith…If
for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all.” (1 Corinthians 15:15;19)
And so, we have come to church today to put ourselves in the way of this announcement, to bump into
again the glorious news that sin and death are not the last words of human life. Christianity is not just a
message, to be set alongside all the other messages of the great world religions, in some sort of museum
collection. Christianity is as real as an empty tomb, or as a man who says “Do you have anything to eat?”
before His dumbfounded friends.
Christ eats and drinks with His disciples after His Resurrection precisely to show that He is no ghost:
“Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh
and bones as you can see I have.” (Luke 24:39) The disciples did not understand what was going on at
first, but it soon became clear that this was the most important thing that had ever happened to them.
And when the Holy Spirit came upon them, these fishermen began to wander around the Roman Empire
telling others about this man. They collected the stories, the teachings, the miracles, that had to do with
their Risen Lord. They spoke to His Mother about His miraculous birth. They continued to remember Him
in the “breaking of the bread”, which He had asked them to repeat “in memory of me.” (Luke 22:19)
These disciples would give up their lives for this man who had given up His life for them, precisely because
Christ’s Resurrection had shown them that “death has lost its sting” (1 Corinthians 15:55). These lives laid
down bore incredible fruit in new believers who continued to announce the greatest news: “Christ is
risen!”
And so on…until my grandmother told my father, who told me. And so on…in your countries of origin
and in your families, all the way down to you. My friends, let us add our voices to this “great cloud of
witnesses” (Hebrews 12:1), let us lend our voices to Christ, so that even in our world today this news may
bring hope to those in the darkness of sin and death, and bring life to the world. Indeed He is truly risen!
In Christ,
Pastor

It’s the weight of Your glory brings the proud to their knees,

And we celebrate our freedom, dancing on an empty grave.
Roll away the stone. Roll away the stone!

The greatest day in history, death is beaten, You have rescued me.
Sing it out, Jesus is alive.
The empty cross, the empty grave, Life Eternal, You have won the day.
Shout it out, Jesus is alive. He’s alive!
And oh happy day, happy day, You washed my sin away.
Oh happy day, happy day, I’ll never be the same!
Forever I am changed!
When I stand in that place, free at last, meeting face to face. I am Yours, Jesus You are mine.
Endless joy, perfect peace, earthly pain finally will cease. Celebrate, Jesus is alive. He’s alive!
Oh, what a glorious day, what a glorious way, that You have saved me.
And oh, what a glorious day, what a glorious Name.

De Nuestro Párroco...
Venimos a la iglesia hoy por muchas razones: porque siempre venimos los domingos;
porque un amigo nos invito; porque teníamos una idea que “debemos”. Pero, todos
nosotros hemos entrado en contacto con el anuncio mas grande de toda la historia:
“Cristo no es aquí; ha resucitado!” (Mateo 28:6)
El anuncio de la Resureccion es la razón porque existe la Cristianidad. Sin ello, no
tienen sentido todas las cosas que dijo e hizo Jesucristo, porque no entendemos quien dijo e hizo estas
cosas. El nacimiento de Jesus no tiene interes para nosotros si no e el inicio de una vida sin igual. La
muerte de Jesus en la Cruz no es mas que una historia extraña y triste si El no ha pasado a traves de la
muerte a una gloriosa Resurreccion.
San Pablo dice, “Y si Cristo no resucitó, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, vana es también vuestra
fe…Si en esta vida solamente esperamos en Cristo, somos los más dignos de conmiseración de todos los
hombres.” (1 Corintios 15:14;19)
Y por eso, hemos venido hoy a la iglesia para ponernos en contacto con este anuncio, para encontrarnos
con esta noticia gloriosa que el pecado y la muerte no son la ultima palabra de la vida humana. La
Cristianidad no es solamente un mensaje, que podemos juntar con los otros mensajes de las religiones del
mundo, como una colección en un museo. La Fe Cristiana es tan real como una tumba vacía or un hombre
que dice “Tienen Uds algo de comer?” a Sus amigos incredulos.
Cristo come y bebe con sus discípulos después de Su Resureccion precisamente para mostrar que no es
un fantasma: “Miren mis manos y mis pies, que yo mismo soy; palpen, y vean; porque un fantasma no
tiene carne ni huesos, como ven que yo tengo.” (Lucas 24:39) Los discípulos no entendían al principio lo
que paso, pero muy pronto se hizo claro que el evento mas importante de sus vidas hubiera pasado.
Y cuando desciende el Espiritu Santo, estos pescadores empezaron a vagar por el Imperio Romano,
contando lo que han encontrado en Cristo. Recolectaron las historias, las enseñanzas y los milagros que
trataron de su Senor Resucitado. Hablaron con Su Madre para conocer el milagro de Su nacimiento.
Continuaban a recorderLo en “la fracción del pan” como los mando su Senor.
Estos discípulos darian sus vidas por el hombre que dio Su vida por ellos, precisamente porque Su
Resureccion les ha mostrado que “la muerte ha perdido su aguijón” (1 Corintios 15:55). Estas vidas
entregadas por amor a Jesus darian un fruto incredible en nuevos creedores que anunciaron la Buena
Nueva: “Cristo ha resucitado!”
Etcetera…hasta mi abuelita que la conto a mi padre, que me la conto a mi. Etcetera…en nuestros paises
de origen y en nuestras familias, fino a nosotros. Mis amigos, unamos nuestras voces a este gran “nube
de testigos” (Hebreos 12:1), demos nuestras voces a Cristo, para que el mundo pueda escuchar hoy este
anuncio que da esperanza a los que viven en las tinieblas de pecado y de la muerte, que da vida al mundo.
Es verdad: Jesus ha resucitado!
En Cristo,
Pastor
