He is Risen!

George Rebane

Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’

For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud; with it, Christianity promises Man to become an unending part of God’s love of all Creation.

(And for the humanist skeptics among us with a cosmological perspective, consider that many/most(?) world class scientists believe in some form of a higher intelligence which subsumes the universe we see.  Christians see this as their 'aseity of God', and for others - Steven Hawking, to Elon Musk - this is the belief that our universe is not the ‘base level’ of a computed and/or computable universe.  Consider what such an ontology portends. More here, here, and here.)

Hi George,

I was unable to find your email contact or else I'd spare your comments section on this post for my plea.
I am writing to you to request your assistance in editing a previous post of yours... Unfortunately whenever an internet user searches for my son's very unique first and last name in Google Images (for athletic recruitment purposes), your Trayvon Martin post pulls up as the second result. I am worried that college recruiters are confusing our down to earth, law abiding, well rounded 4.0 student with Trayvon as they are both African-American.

I would be more than happy to provide more context and information through a private email. Please let me know what you think... Thank you. F. Zimmerman
