There is a way to be good again

One of my very good friend in South Africa, Karen suggested me a novel, The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseni.The novel is all about "Friendship". She insisted me to read the novel but me being a stubborn self never had time to get exposed to that gem.
When i heard they released a movie about the same novel i was happy, I watched that by much anticipation and believe me i was not expecting that.
What a masterpiece and the tag line line was even more inviting " There is a way to be good again"

I have been thinking ever since what exactly does it mean to be good again?
Like a child who did something wrong and then asked for sorry from his mother/father.
Does that corrects what he did wrong?

Like a husband who ditches his wife and then asks for sorry? does that means the heart of her very wife which he broken would be the same just like it was before?

This is what is known to be something very difficult for a human being to offer but that's again a question, Are we, human beings in a position to offer something to others?

A straight "NO" would be the best answer!

But we have learnt that there was a person named "Jesus" who offered himself and his LIFE for all of us so that we can be easily given salvation for the sins we have committed all of our life.

This came straight to me as i progressed into the movie. At the same time i was thinking what i have to do for showing our people "The Empty Tomb". As we had agreed that after recreating the crucifixion scene we will be recreating 'The Tomb" because the feedback we got from everyone was thrilling and very appreciating.I was thinking my choices to recreate the scene with much optimistic approach and ease of mind so that the people can easily relate.

The first and foremost aspect of the whole project was to keep it simple and easy to understand.
So i started collecting thoughts for what we will be doing.My brother and friends from our fellowship came of great help.

We created a lot of ideas for how we will do it.We even thought of creating a wooden wall for the scene but we all were not satisfied.

But the movie made me think in a whole new direction for the set and props.I guess this is a bit weird when i say just by knowing a tag line my ideas changed.But this is what happened.

We wanted to experience the essence , spirit and soul of what have it been for the people at that time when Jesus was crucified and buried.

A lot of people ask me what exactly Easter means and what are Easter Eggs for.
Off course they want to know the significance of these which not everyone, even in our own community know.

"Easter is the day when we celebrate the rising of Jesus Christ from dead as we believe"
"and Easter Eggs are prominent in Easter festival because they symbolize the empty tomb and new life.New life as in Jesus rising from dead'

With all these festive things in mind we came up finally with our plan on how to do it.

Below is a glimpse of what we did to show the empty tomb.



After a very hard working night spended in church with a lot of Tea Breaks and Andaa Paratha (Fried Egg and Chapatti with Oil) we finally ended our project in time.

It was almost dawn when i left the church , the feel was amazing , the props were giving a real look and suddenly it again came to my mind " There was a way to be good again"

So literally it means that we can be good , we can be clean of all our sins and bad deeds we have been doing our whole life and this can be done only by meeting salvation which can come in not so much expensive if we believe in Jesus Christ , our lord who gave his life for all of us, so that we can be free, free of sins, free of troubles, free of worldly problems.

Don't want to write too much but just want us all to know that "
"THERE IS A WAY TO BE GOOD AGAIN"

Peace , love, light and blessings for all , now and always!
