By Louis Cassels up religion writer easter is the most important Day of the year because it certifies our right to Hope. Hope is Confidence in the future. It is impossible to be truly hopeful if our Brief lives Are circumscribed by the utter finality of death. For if that is our situation All the future holds for any of us ultimately is the inexorable descent of the axe of annihilation. O o o easter Cujes not deny the reality of death. But it offers us the Assurance that god is Able to create new life beyond death. The Assurance lies in the fact that god has already done this on one supremely symbolic occasion the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But is that really a fact did it really happen or is the easter Story merely a Lovely myth invented by disciples who could not reconcile j the depth and sincerity of their themselves to the loss of their be conviction is attested by their loved teacher readiness to Lay Down their lives for obviously no one is Able at this it. Many of them cheerfully accept space in time to make categorical declarations about the reality or no reality of an event alleged to have happened 2,000 years ago. O o o what can to stated As an abundantly documented historical fact is that there were witnesses not two or three or a dozen but several j Hundred a who claimed to have seen and talked to Jesus after his death. These witnesses were not hallucination a prone mystics. They were Farmers fishermen and housewives. They knew As Well As you and i that dead people stay dead if it actually happened is found in and they were fully As surprised As the nature of the event we would be to encounter an exit was not the witnesses make caption to this Universal Rule of Clear merely the Resu it citation of a human experience. Human Corpse. Red martyrdom rather the n deny the reality of the event they had witnessed. It comes Down to this a person who believes that the resurrection could happen will find ample historical evidence to justify his believing that it did happen. But there can never be enough evidence to convince a person who has decided in Advance that it could not possibly be True. It is a Choice each of us must make for himself. Willy Nilly we bet our lives on one viewpoint or the other. O o o the meaning of the resurrection nor was it a demonstration of the Quot immortality which greek philosophy sought to attribute to a particular aspect of humanity the soul while acknowledging the death of the body. The Jesus who was known to be alive after death was a new kind of being endowed with a new kind of life. The personality of the human Jesus was recognizably present in the resurrected Christ but in a new Mode of reality which clearly baffled the witnesses and which i they were never Able to describe with any precision. The hey Point which the n e w testament makes Over and Over again is that Jesus Wras the Pioneer and prototype of an experience which god wishes All men j to share.
