More rambling about the neglect of the resurrection (the Lord's and ours) as we just came through Pentecost which, in most places, is celebrated far more than the third day. Putting aside that I don't believe that Pentecost is "the birthday of the Church," on its own it shouldn't be celebrated even at 1/10,000 of how we should celebrate the resurrection. Man's "Lent" and the crucifixion occupy most of Christendom as the greater undoing of the curse and the only hope of redemption, the rising up of the Lord Jesus Christ by his own power, is relegated to one day... and most believers can't tell you the significance. If mom is already dancing in heaven, who needs a resurrection? Sad.
