It is all quite wonderful. But then we go back to the realities of Monday morning and the world doesn't appear all that different. We return to the small daily cruelties and deceptions that are part of business as usual. The world grinds on. Good people get bruised.
Good people die.
And we have to wonder just how things are different in a post-resurrection world. How do we reconcile the world as it is with the good news of Jesus' resurrection. Tuesday was Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. I was privileged to participate in the Holocaust Memorial Service, organized by students and held this year in Parkes Hall. The holocaust has obviously presented a great challenge for Christians living in the latter half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
