Taking Easter Seriously

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano on

Taking Easter seriously recognizes that the Resurrection of Jesus is the linchpin of human existence "to which the whole creation moves." With it, life is worth living, no matter its painful costs or losses. Without it, life is meaningless, no matter its fleeting joys or triumphs.

Easter has a meaning that is both incomprehensible and simple. It is incomprehensible that a human being rose from the dead. It is simple because that human being was and is God.

Taking Easter seriously means that there's hope for the dead. And, if there's hope for the dead, there's hope for the living.

But like the colonists who fought the oppression of the king, we the living can achieve our hopes only if we have freedom. And that requires more than faith and hope and good works. It requires a government that protects freedom, not one that assaults it.

America today is dreary, divided and fearful. The government is broke, overbearing and unworthy of belief. It threatens World War III, has produced wild inflation, destroyed happiness and now wants our guns.

 

A revolution for freedom is coming. And, faith in Jesus' Resurrection -- which is also hope for our own -- infuses the souls of the faithful with a joy that only God can give.

Happy Easter!
