Today is Good Friday, Sunday is Easter. These
holidays will be celebrated in ways that are completely foreign to
today’s Christians. But Christians will nevertheless celebrate the death
and resurrection of Jesus as they and the rest of the world look for a
more worldly resurrection.
According to some estimates, roughly half the world is under a
COVID-19 lockdown. It’s a radical step governments have chosen to stop
the spread of the disease. But with every change in public policy, there
are unavoidable, and often unintended consequences.Under the COVID-19 lockdowns, people are frustrated by having their
freedom of movement restricted; they’ve been unable to assemble at
theaters, concerts, sporting events, restaurants, and houses of worship;
workers are losing jobs, some of them permanently; businesses are
closing for good; and a recession might already be here.The world isn’t dead, but it is looking for a mortal resurrection.
