" A song touches my heart"

In the season of Easter, one song always touches my heart as a season bird.  In Myanmar, there is a bird called “Ook Awe”, has charming voice. The bird sings “Ook Awe, Ook Awe- - -Ook Awe, Ook Awe”, we can hear this voice under the  scourging   heat in dry  summer. Some people named it  “Summer Bird”. Their singing voices made people’s hearts to recall old memories.      

Likewise, one song comes into my heart in the season of Easter entitled  

“Were you there when they crucified my Lord?”               

Was I there when Jesus was crucified? Were I there - -? Were we there --?  We were not there surely in those days.  Nevertheless, we are still nailing our Savior Jesus nowadays.  

1 John 3:15; “Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.”  We are still doing hate not only our siblings but also neighbors, ethnic groups. We make a war at home. We make a war at society. We make a war in the world. We are still nailing Him on the cross by our pride and proud and demanding rights.  

Another lyric from that song touches my heart is “Were you there when they laid Him in a tomb?”  We still make Him laid in the tomb by our beliefs, concepts and bias.  Though God gives us two ears to listen to both sides of  the stories  only one ear hears,  two eyes to see both sides but bias makes one eye blind. God gives us one mouth to speak loud for fair and just but we speak loud for our desires instead of our needs.  Are we still laid Him in the tomb by our natural inclinations, beliefs, concepts and bias among family, society and nations?  We are still laying Him in a tomb by spreading gossips, propagandize one sided messages on media and social media like a big stone which in front of the tomb. 

The last line touches my heart from the song is “Are you there when he rose up from the grave?” We were not there when Christ rose up from the grave.          Someone blocks a big stone in your way like a stone which in front of the grave of Jesus Christ. Pray to Jesus. He has the power to rise up from the death and open the grave stone. Jesus will help you and raise you from your dead life in a tomb.           

We believe and we have many testimonies that Jesus is living God, eternal God. Let Him walk with you, with us. Without Easter, Christmas celebration for Jesus’ birth could not last for centuries until today. Jesus arose from the death.

HAPPY EASTER !
