I speak because I believe

Christianity is not a religion, it is a way of life. Anyone can be Christian regardless of cast, race, creed or religion. My attempt in this blog is to showcase how simple it is to follow "the path" that Jesus showed us to enjoy life on earth (material world) and beyond (spiritual).

You fell? Now get up and try again!


Although the symbol of Christianity is Jesus dying on the cross, I have chosen my personal symbol as the resurrected Christ.
We have all failed sometime or the other in life. Be it at work or home. In love or friendship. In others eyes or even our own. It is only human to fail and there is definitely nothing wrong in it. But what we do after we fail defines the power within us that makes us more like Christ. Beaten, abandoned and thoroughly humiliated Jesus was hung naked on the cross
for the world to see. Very few of us would manage to survive that kinda shame even metaphorically speaking. But as we seldom believe "Death is never the end". Jesus died on the cross knowing that he will rise when it is time. And he rose to embarrass those who had slain him. That is resurrection.
We are always worried about the consequences of our actions. Although that is important to a certain extent, it should never prevent us from trying something we know we might fail in. So what if we fail? There will be a handful of people who would laugh at us. Others who would claim "I told you so". What is more important is what we have learnt from our failure. How we resurrect from our defeat. Lets just dust ourselves off and try again. Lets Resurrect!
