ed for us so
live again
jREv�* L. CH
On Palm Sunday, to,be official, we began
a pilgrimage toward .Easter Sunday! the
thoroughfare is called Passion Week; we
have various names for the days• of the
week, and one if3 called Good Friday. .
Dare we paw over it, under it, around it,
and not through It, is my question? There
could never have been a resurrection morn-
ing if there had not been a death on that first
Good Friday. So, how can one explain a
resurrection without a demise?
We celebrate a victory on Easter morning
and may not know why we so do. It is
because something indelibly precious hap-
pened onhe first Good Friday, "Christ
Jesus died for the sins of the world." his
death was of special quality and possessed
meaning for every single human being.
He took my place, your place. He died the
death of death. Paul informs us that "the
wages of sin is death," and that is con-
clusive; it is conceivable that there is an end
to life beyond which there is no more. It is an
inheritance of oblivion. We are to imagine
that nothing lies beyond death except non-
life.
What can one do about it? Read your
history and know that many over the course
of the centuries have tried to find a way, and
have ended in defeat. The truth is that there
is no reality beyond death through human
endeavour. We pass into non -being.
So, if the tragedy is to be overcome So-
meone other than self must do it. Our
answer lies in Good Friday, when, once -for -
all, Christ Jesus descended into death's
finality with a holy purpose to hand.
The overcoming of death is found in
Christ's entering into death for us. In dying
at Calvary Jesus absorbed into Himself the
consequences of, our sins. This is why God
looked away,d that terrible cry of God-
abandonednes;ss an round the world, "My
God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken
1T Ae?"
1 The wages of sin is death, and Jesus died
for the sin of the world. He took upon
Himself all of our sin that we need never die
in sin ourselves. From the Scriptural
record we know He died and was gently laid
in a tomb. Yes, He was dead. Let there
never be any doubt about that! It is only now
we can move forward to Easter morning,
the first day of the week.
We are confronted in Easterhy violation
of the human manner; we are faced with a
resurrection, Someone who comes back
from the termination point. In His rising we
can say that death is overcome. Out of the
darkness- the Light springs eternal. Sin is.
overcome as is death in His victory. Death
stands in defeat. The Holy Spirit of God goes
down into the depths, and Christ breathes
again This is resurrection! God has done it!
The resurrection points up that if we can
but trust Christ Jesus in .faith, then death is
become the transitional point, the last and
final experience of life, and in a moment,
"in the twinkling of an eye" we pass from
here to there. Death is no longer the grim
reaper but a passageway into the Eternal. -
What stood amongst us as a curse is
become a blessing. There is but one
response to the Divine Overture and that is
faith.
