The Trial that still must come

“Such celebration points to the danger of revenge as a powerful human emotion. Revenge has no place among those who honor justice. Retributive justice is sober justice. …

The second troubling aspect is just part of what it means to live in a world in which true justice is always elusive. …”

– Albert Mohler adds perspective to the news everyone is talking about today.

Easter Eggs in the Year of Our Lord

“I love chocolate. I don’t think I’m unique in this respect. Most people I have met share this love. So the popular celebration of Easter with chocolate suits me. It combines so many loves at the same time – holidays, chocolate and Christ.

Jesus should be associated with chocolate, for he made every good thing for our enjoyment. He created the world, including chocolate, to be received with thanksgiving. If you like chocolate then eat it with gratitude to the creator of all good things – Jesus Christ our Lord…”

– Dean of St. Andrew’s Cathedral Phillip Jensen writes on Easter and “the lowest common denominator of public agreement” – on the Cathedral website.
