THE SIGNIFICANCE of EASTER

‘JEAN S. MILN ER, D. D., Minister.

Second Presbyterian Church

™

In the rich symbolism of the Christian tradition Easter | and Good Friday must be seen not separately but together.

The one complements the other. The ghastly brutality of the Cross is the dark background out of which the symbolism of Vaster arises like dawn dispelling night.

Faster means, therefore, in Christian thought more than the triumph of life over death. It symbolizes also the | Christian’s faith in the ultimate victory of goodness over evil. And it is only this latter phase of “the significance of Easter I would stress in this brief srgidle written in the | midst of a world at war.

It would be out of place to discuss the ‘many ethical

| ambiguities involved in the war and I fave 10. intention | of doing so.

* But surely in these days when once again the use of

force is being turned loose upon the world with mighty and

devastating effect, all of us are tempted at times to feel that | brute force is after all the final arbiter of the destinies of

man upon the earth. - And by way of contrast the teachings

of Christianity seem. unreal if not downright fentimeatal

Confronting that temptation, as I am sure we all do,

I shall not attempt to discuss or prove by argument certajn

‘convictions of our religious faith which center around the

Cross and Easter. But I shall only stismpt, ‘briefly to re-

We believe any contemporary historic power that is | based on concentration camps, the persecution of helpless [jen and racial minorities, the denial of freedom of thought and conscience in matters of religious faith, the || expansion of its own power by the ruthless invasion and '| conquest of other nations, trusting solely in the philosophy that might is right, can never build anything historically

We believe moral force, though it works more slowly | = and suffers many heart-rending defeats, is in the long last | | ~ stronger than brute force. |

We believe the things of the spirit do outlive ‘and out- | 1
