I happened to be visiting a primary school recently and, it being a secular school, the teacher’s message about Easter was designed to be as neutral as possible. I was actually (somewhat pleasantly) surprised by how respectful the teacher was towards Christian beliefs, given the secular context. I have witnessed or been involved in some philosophical or religious debates before, and (sadly) it has more often than not come down to one side attempting to ridicule the other. The problem there is that ridicule, in itself, does not prove anything.
Today, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ—someone who is, on the one hand, revered above all others as the Son of God and the only way to eternal life, and on the other hand, is perhaps ridiculed more than any other man in history: a blasphemer, a deluded (or insane) individual, a bastard, or even a mere work of fiction. To be fair, there are probably also plenty of people in the middle ground, who might consider Christ as someone who did actually exist, but was simply a wise man or an example of a good man. But clearly, Christ cannot be all of those things.
Is today just the latter part of the weekend—just another Sunday—or perhaps more than that? How we treat Easter will, I think, reveal much about who we believe Christ is.
