"Un Cristo muerto por el que debo hacer todo; un Cristo vivo lo hace todo por mí."

Simplified Meaning:

When someone talks about a "dead Christ," they're saying that if they only see Jesus as a historical figure who died, then they feel like it's their job to remember Him and do things in His name. It's like thinking of a famous person from history—people might honor them by doing good deeds or following their example. However, if they see Jesus as alive in spirit, like He is still with them every day, then they believe that Jesus helps and guides them in their daily lives. It’s like having a mentor or friend who gives you advice and support whenever you need it. For example, imagine you have a role model you admire, like a great teacher who passed away. If you only think of them as gone, you might try to live up to their teachings to honor their memory. On the other hand, if you feel they are still looking out for you somehow, you might feel encouraged and supported, thinking they're there to help you succeed. By seeing Jesus as living, believers feel like they have His ongoing support and help, which can make a big difference in how they face life’s challenges. They trust that they are not alone and that He will help guide them through tough times.
