But what if Spring was never to come. What if because of some astronomical disaster we all were caught in the grip of a winter that would not let go, and the earth remained dark, cold, wet, and barren for years on end. It must seem like that in Newfoundland these days. They have had over 600 cm of snow so far this season and it is still snowing. It just can't seem to stop.
Winter keeps on keeping on.
What if that were true all over the earth and would never end. In a lot of ways that would be like our world without Easter. It would be a Good Friday world where Christ has dies and remains dead. In a Good Friday world, darkness wins over light. In a Good Friday world, loveless power defeats the power of love.
