Times-Advocate, 1986-03-26, Page 8Page 8 Times -Advocate, March 26, 1986 Still most im As Easter approaches, our minds turn to the terrible day of Jesus crucifixion, and the glorious one of His resurrection. At that time, 2000 years ago, His enemies thought they were done with this itinerant preacher, this upstart whose simple message worried them to death, turn- ed all their sacred traditions upside down, and threatened their cozy security. And yet.... "Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant rtant force in world woman. He gre►p up in anouuer obscure . village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty and then for three years he was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book, He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put his toot inside a big city. He never travelled more than twohun- dred miles from the place where He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany TRIO OF MODELS — Elaine Hayter is surrounded by Danny and Mark Heywood on Thursday's Dashwood Business Association fashion show. T -A photo greatness. He had no credentials but Himself. "While still a young man the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to .... . . . .. ........... himself, who were all responsible for putting Him to death, would never have believed that the force of Jesus would be telt far beyond the narrow concept of their known world, that it would go on reshaping men's lives, It Seems to me... ...................................... His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. His ex- ecutors gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth while He was dying... and that was His coat. When He was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. "Over nineteen wide centuries have come and gone, and today He is the centrepiece of the human race and the leader of a column of progress. "It is far within the mark to say that all the armies that ever march- ed, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not af- fected the life of man upon this earth, as powerfully as has One Solitary Life." The Sanhedrin, the crazed mob (of which we would probably have been a part if we'd been there), and Pilate by Gwyn Whilsmith giving them a different dream so that they were stirred up to do mighty deeds, and help build great nations. They thought he was dead, finished, buried forever, and out of their lives. There are those who, even after all the evidence is in, still believe that. But, it seems to me, Jesus' Spirit still moves over the face of the world, whether we admit it or not, and we all have the choice of ignoring Him, or joining the catcalling mob, or united with those who acclaim and follow Him.
