“Slow down, you movin’ too fast
You gotta make the moment last”
Slow down. In our rush to get from his death, Good Friday, to his Resurrection, Easter Sunday, we skip over one of the most important aspects of the revelation. Indeed, the fact that we killed him but he did not stay dead is important. However, equally important is the fact that we tortured him but he did not stop loving us.
We could have pissed him off. We could have triggered his revenge reflex. Yet, we did not.
“We tortured and killed him. He suffered and died. Yet, he did not stay dead and did not stop loving us.”
“Why do our creeds omit the fact that he did not stop loving us. That he did not stay dead is only half of the story.”
