That We May
Know God
By
Rev. E. //. Nicholson, Jr.
With the birth of a child in a place called bethlehein, the curtain rises on that which has been so aptly termed, “The Greatest Story Fiver Told.”.about a man called Jesus of Nazareth, who went among his people: teaching them ; healing them.that they may know God!
Hut then there came a week in which there was a day called “Palm Sunday”.when the people cried, “Hosanna.v..Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” It was a week in which this leader met with his desciples, and they gathered about a table for a communal meal. They would never so gather again...for on that awful night, he was betrayed.
In that same week, he was murdered !
This Jesus of Nazareth cries out the final line: “It is finished!” The great tragedy is over!
The curtain falls!
And yet, before the memory of him can possibly diffuse with time there comes another cry: “Christ is risen!’’ And the story begins anew. The curtain rises once more
on the story which has no end!
We of our generations are bir one chapter in that story .a story in which .'ill chapters are vital in its telling. And thus, we of our generations re-echo that story s beginning: “Christ is risen!" And then, like men-of-old, we in our dav seek out his living presence: in our community.in our
Sm.ch in on] very lives. The my has no end. And our chapter ,is vital in its telling!
The blood-stained curtain which fell about that broken body so long ago.the curtain that seeeme ! to end all!. .this curtain only fell upon a preface.
For with the cry, “He is risen! the curtain rises again. And the story has no end!...
