I tend to sift, categorize, and make reasonable things I don’t understand. But, I must confess, the infinite holiness of Easter and its many mysteries are beyond my grasp. Jesus’s arrest, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection – those four words alone – represent a highly complex series of events that forged a new symmetry between God and humankind. The sinister, the dark, and the reprehensible now stand in shadow, and we follow in His footsteps of light.
I respect your view, especially your humility in admitting “But, I must confess, the infinite holiness of Easter and its many mysteries are beyond my grasp.” To that I would add, in my own journey, I am no further in certainty than to acknowledge the finiteness of my understanding and the infiniteness of the transcendent truth of God. But attempting to “make reasonable things I don’t understand” is at best an internal contradiction, and I wonder if carrying that attempt too far could amount to hubris.
