Waiting On Another Kind Of Resurrection

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.
