Across the world Christians are celebrating the solemnity and joy of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Services. Rituals. Beautiful worship spaces. This, at a time when church attendance is waning, more people identify as non-religious, Christian belief has taken some strange turns and Jesus must still compete with the Easter Bunny.
The truth is that the message of Jesus doesn’t really require any of the elaboration we create. It is a message about the human condition as we struggle to understand suffering, love, forgiveness and redemption.
We may hear it in church, but it lives in the individual, in the sunlight, in the action.
