Jesus is Dead. . .

A humanist holiday homily

{Two posts in one weekend. . .and on Passover and Easter too!? Well, honestly, I forgot that I taped this video months ago expressly for this time. You might say it’s almost contemplative—quiet and reflective. See what you think}


Brief summary:

  • Can a nonbeliever respect Jesus as much (or more) than those who worship him?

  • Is it possible to be a “follower of Jesus” (rather than a “worshipper of Christ”), given the fact Jesus is dead.

  • We could think of him as a “Son of Man” (an exceptional human being) and not the “Son of God” (a super-human).

  • Christians, and the Christian Church, don’t own the man.

  • Death doesn’t end a person’s legacy or influence.

  • If anybody buried Jesus, it’s the Church … Tradition (and Theology) has been his tomb.

So, unless you are fearful of questions, afraid they may raise doubts, I invite you to listen to the video and let me know what you think.

If you celebrate. . . Have a peaceful and meaningful Easter or Passover or Spring Season.

Chris
