A victory culture

Published: April 24, 2016, 10 a.m.

The results of sin plague every facet of our existence. That’s why we need to remember that the day Jesus rose from the dead is the day the end began for everything bad in our world. Today we see that, even though Christ has withdrawn his visible presence on earth, he has not left his Church alone or unattended. It’s very easy for Christians to feel like helpless victims in a world that is by its very nature hostile to Christianity. And yet, today we are reminded that, because Jesus rose from the dead, those who have faith in him are victors—not victims—over the evil that exists in our world.
