Easter is dangerously misinterpreted by many as a strictly spiritual experience. When we speak of victory over death, surely there is no such victory if people who are spiritually risen remain physically beaten down. If Jesus were to rise today, he would rise in global debt resolution. His resurrection forgives debt so that Ugandans might pay 17 dollars per person on health care and three dollars per person on foreign debt instead of the exact opposite, which they do today. Freeing hopelessly indebted countries from all debt is what Jesus claims to have done by his death on the cross.
Debt is canceled in new life.
Debt is not personal sin. They are not responsible for the debt they cannot, at any rate, pay. Restructuring third world debt could turn the world from death to life, overnight. Resurrection could be measured out in the teaspoons of percentage points, nation by nation. Based in the Hebrew mandate, proclaiming Jubilee frees people who have lost their land or liberty because of heavy debts.
