He is dead! That was the

been given, the body was re
moved from the Cross and
tragedy placed in a tomb. Another
and another sadness
for a family and a family of
friends. So Jesus of Nazareth
was dead.
He is dead! That was the
verdict and so, the word hav

another poignant loneliness.
So God was dead.
The fact remains that death
Easter. on Friday was met by life on
It isn’t just wishful
dreaming. thinking or sentimental
There was a reality
that met those disciples and
sent men daring and dream

The fact remains that the
obituary for men have written
out God is not as absolute
as they beyond thought. There is a
reality the tombs of
men’s doubts and that still
sends men daring and dream
ing.
There were those who said
because they couldn’t believe in Jesus
he couldn’t and
wouldn’t come down from a
Cross. And there are those
who say they can’t believe in
God because he couldn’t or
wouldn’t stop the horrible
tragedies which have beset
our generations.
One can understand this
verdict of death. Look around
at so many who claim the
name of Christian and see
how unlike Easter they’ve got
ten at life. Every one of
those fears, prejudices, ha
treds and selfish running away
either to play or to pout pile
up the circumstantial evi
dence which says: “God is
dead.” Either there is power
less love, say these critics, or

The award, made jointly by

there is loveless power and, in
either instance, it’s intoler
able. So seal up the tomb and
roll up the great stone. He’s
dead.
Yet the undefeated fact re
mains that the whole Christ
ian faith sprang out of that
tomb and men insisted that
Christ was alive. The Easter
of that time so long ago must
become our piaster also.
It is the shame of the ages
that men so easily leave
Easter in the past tense, in
stead of translating it into
the present-day Christian boldness. Either
out with community
nation moves and daring a new imagi
in our time
or the rumor will still be
abroad that God is dead.
The Moravians do a brave
thing They on Easter morning.
go into the cemetery at
the break of day to sing their
Easter anthem. With the loud
notes of a trumpet, they walk
in processional to the place
made hallowed by many a
memory to proclaim their
faith. This Easter of 1967 de
mands that we march against
war, into the hatreds, fears, tramping
midst of slums and
ghettos, blowing the trump
ets of faith until the old
tombs are broken. For, by the
living known God, Easter is to be
in living through living persons
situations now.
