Christ is risen

We had a good Easter service in Kiruna, where I preached. Some friends and members of the church, now living in other places, where there, which was a highlight. We spent a long time drinking coffee and talking about various things. The theme of the service was of course the risen Christ and the hope that gives us in any kind of circumstances. In the end, to be a Christian is not an intellectual decision, based on arguments (even if it is good to go through all the arguments) but it is based on meeting the Risen one, the living Christ, and accepting Him. Without that, there can not be any meaningful theology at all. As Paul has written, if Christ has not risen your faith is meaningless. But He has, Paul adds.
I hope your Easter has been good, and I hope meeting the Risen has put its mark on your life.
