Easter Lost

Approximately 2000 years ago St. Stephen became the first man in history to die for his belief in Jesus Christ. Among the many observing his brutal death by stoning was the Pharisee Saul, who according to the Acts of the Apostles looked on and, “entirely approved of the killing.” Not terribly long after this martyrdom, as the bible tells us, Saul made his spectacular conversion to Christianity forever imprinting his image on the world as St. Paul.

It is a fitting story of redemption for this recent Easter Season. As the holiest day in the Christian calendar passed preachers all over the world were given the opportunity to address larger, and perhaps more attentive audiences. Many would recall the hope of the resurrection and deplore the continual allowance of injustice in the world. Even Pope Benedict XVI simultaneously called people to hope for new life in Christ while denouncing the violence permitted throughout the world: particularly in Darfur and Iraq.

However, as the many distinguished men of the cloth balanced a need for justice with the hope of forgiveness, all their words were eclipsed this Easter by two men of God, and one radio host. We have all been subjected to the unholy trinity of the Imus scandal.

With many across the nation calling for the resignation of shock jock Don Imus for despicable comments few have been more adamant or publicized than the Reverends: Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

A quick Google search of either of the Reverends names, and the words Easter, or Easter message reveals countless links to denouncements of Don Imus, but the words, Jesus, Christ, and resurrection, are not to be found. More to the point, there is no Easter message, no meditation, and ultimately no consideration for what this day was to mean for Christians everywhere. It would be strange for a local pastor to overlook this day, but here we have two nationally known Preachers and the country undermining its significance. What we have is an Easter forgotten.

It is not inappropriate to call for Mr. Imus’s job, nor for these pastors to be concerned about the social injustice that took place here. However, their disregard for the resurrection, and the meaning of redemption, seems to paint another story of grave concern. Whether Mr. Imus deserves to keep his show, or whether the Rutger’s basketball team ought to forgive him for his demeaning remarks at a time of personal achievement is not relevant in this context. 

 The issue on a national scheme is that Mr. Imus has, however sincerely, repeatedly apologized and asked for forgiveness, a forgiveness which has been denied in turn by two men of Christ. At a time in which Christianity as a whole ought to be celebrating the infinite mercy of God the two most sought after Christian commentators in the United States are preaching a message of condemnation in absolute terms. Reverend Sharpton has recently said that Mr. Imus may be forgiven but that this cannot grant him amnesty from the consequences of his actions. Unlike Don Imus, St. Paul literally had the blood of innocents on his hands. Yet men with friends and family lost in Paul’s persecutions, eagerly baptized him and listened to the words he had to teach them. Perhaps early Christians overlooked his crimes, yet as we continue to remember St. Stephen we know they were never forgotten. If St. Paul can help found one of the world’s most influential religions than how much of a stretch can it be to allow Mr. Imus to continue his morning ramblings. When Saul the “persecutor” was accepted with relative ease into the Christian fold, he immediately became, Paul the teacher. The message of Easter we have forgotten, where mercy overcomes justice, was perhaps never more profoundly realized than in the life of St. Paul. The question we are left with then, isn’t whether our country ought to more firmly embrace Christian values, rather, how long can it endure prominent Christians who neglect this promise in favor of a social agenda? Can the title “Reverend” be tolerated with men like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when they spend Easter condemning a repentant man in order to be on T.V.?
