Easter-Thoughts

When I was in Satipo I got to know a youth who had a lot of christian music and videos on his pc. Partly done by himself. In one of the videos there are scenes of the film "The Passion", in which Jess is tortured and killed, together with scenes of modern life about sex, drugabuse and selfhatred, combined with a song, with the following text:

I'm not a perfect person / There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning / I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go / That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you / It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through / I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears / That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you (4x)

I'm not a perfect person / I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go / That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

I know this song doesn't sing about the relation to Jesus, but to a woman. But with the scenes shown you get a good idea what the clip is supposed to say:
With the sin of my life I hurt me and I hurt other people. But also I took Jesus to the cross with my sin. For that Jesus had to die on the cross for me. But that is not a reason to give me a bad conscience, but the reason to start all over again. The reason experience change in my life.
That's what Eastern is all about. Jesus died for that the way to God is free again and that I'm not stuck to my damaged life, but to start again with Jesus.
Who wants to see the Video I put it on here:


But I have to add that the scenes are not that easy. Not really for everybody. Every time I see that video it touches me somehow, because I have to realize that it has something to do with me.
I wish you all, that this week is not just another Easter-celebration, but that you once again (or for the first time) realize, that it has something to do with you.
