In this week’s Saturday Post, J.D. Walt examines the initial response to Easter and its implications for how we respond today. “We’ve come to think of Easter as a predictable slam dunk when in reality, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave is a full length court, nothing but net buzzer-beater with all it’s impossibility, surprise, elation, astonishment and yes, disbelief. ”
