FOURTEENTH STATION: JESUS IS BURIED IN THE TOMB

On the 7th day, God rested from his works of creation; and here on the seventh day, God is buried in the tomb. What else can happen? If God rests, creation stops, nothing exists.

Without Christ, the seventh day, for humankind, becomes a Period (full-stop) for hope, but with Christ it is indeed a period of hope.

Nietzsche concluded that God is dead, the French revolutionaries’ motive was to kill God, Stalin and Lenin perpetuated a grand plot to destroy God. And today, for many who cannot cross the bridge of Sabbath, God may yet be dead.

No amount of rationalisation can get us out of the ordeal of the seventh day, it is through the ability to remain in hope with the Madonna that the meaninglessness of our ‘Friday’ can transform, through Christ, into the meaningfulness of our ’Sunday’.

This period may be tough but Let us keep hope alive and we shall soon arrive at the reasonableness and deathlessness of ‘Sunday’. We shall soon know why, not only in the afterlife, but also here in time, because the journey to Truth is an experience. Freedom is very experiential.
