12Dear Friends,
Just a couple of weeks ago I read this honest and humble
letter piece of journalism reflecting on Easter: “Easter Sunday. I
went to church for the first time in ages. The little parish
church has stood for 900 years in a village near where my
parents live. It’s where my father James, who died last
week aged 75, will be buried. It was a friendly, pomp-free
service of the pragmatic sort – dogs were welcome, and there were tables with
colouring-in pens to keep the kids occupied during the Eucharist. There was an
easter-egg hunt in the graveyard afterwards.”
But while this young man appreciated the rhythm, the ritual and the familiar Easter
story, his Christianity was merely the cultural expression of someone born in
England. He concluded: “It sucks to be a Christian who doesn’t believe. I don’t
hold out for the resurrection of the body or the promise of life everlasting. I want
my Dad to be still alive.”
A few years ago, another British journalist was participating in a panel discussion
where he was asked: ‘Which dangerous idea has the greatest potential to change
the world for the better?’
His answer clearly startled his fellow panellists: “The most dangerous idea in
human history and philosophy remains the belief that Jesus Christ was the Son of
God and rose from the dead, and that is the most dangerous idea you will ever
encounter.”
“Why dangerous?” asked the host.
“Because it alters the whole of human behaviour and all our responsibilities. It
turns the universe from a meaningless chaos into a designed place in which there
is justice and there is hope and, therefore, we all have a duty to discover the
nature of that justice and work towards that hope. It alters us all. If we reject it, it
alters us all as well. It is incredibly dangerous. It's why so many people turn
against it.”
Two journalists with different perspectives both recognised that central to the
Christian faith is the claim that 2000 years ago a man stepped out of his grave.
Christianity stands or falls on this.
What do we make of this claim? What happened that first Easter?
Was the body of Jesus stolen? Why then would robbers leave behind his grave
clothes in the tomb?
Did the disciples go to the wrong tomb which they found empty? Why then did the
authorities not go to the correct tomb and show the corpse to discredit the early
Christian claims of resurrection?
Was it all a hoax perpetrated by the disciples? Why then did they go to the grave
insisting Christ was alive? How come none cracked and confessed the fraud?
The great season of Easter extends through the month of May, long after all the
chocolate eggs have been eaten. Why not use the month to read about and
ponder the Easter story?
It is a most dangerous idea. It changes people. It alters us all.
