Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 27: March-April 1970 John Calvin somewhere in his writings says that the church has repeated that the church and its historic faith suffer recurring crucifixions and such melancholy preliminaries as disaffection, defiance, betrayal, and desertion. In the light of such history one can more calmly mull over such aberrations as talk about the death of God, and the somber but intriguing information that in recent years more people have received Easter communion in Russia that in Great Britain. Human beings can hunger for God but they also be willfully perverse and obtuse in spiritual matters. A magnificent example like Job can declare: "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." But, there are other. Thomas Huxley, the eminent biologist, lost his small son. Charles Kingsley attempted to offer condolences and religious assurances to him. Huxley, who had no religious sympathies, answered flatly, "The absolute justice of the system of things is as clear to me as any scientific fact." It was a fierce declaration of independence but an irrelevance before the fact of a child´s death for which there can be no satisfying answers. It brings to mind Albert Camus´ observation that "each of us insists on being innocent (or free) at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself..." The felicitous topic used above for these notes for the Easter issue of The Chaplain is taken from a small book of prayers and praises. It is a particularly appropriate emphasis for this season and it is symbolically renewed each Lord´s Day. Helmut Thielicke reminds us that "the Bible never talks about life everlasting as a condition that can be described; it simply makes the point that we shall be with the Lord and that we may see him face to face..." Easter dramatically calls us to celebrate the fact that our lord is alive and that He is with us everlastingly in worship and in all the common round of life.
