Happy
Easter
“Christ is Risen” was the headline of our
weekly local newspaper that comes out every Friday. It was a welcomed
sight as I was reminded why the majority of Americans celebrate this special
holiday. I was pleasantly surprised that our local newspaper was brave
enough to savor the Savior by such a declaration on the front page, at the very
top, in very large print, and even in color.
I can only imagine that not everyone was
as pleased as I to see that Christ was elevated above the Easter
Bunny. I bet our local newspaper drew some complaints from some
contrary folks that only see the world one way, their way.
Often times those folks seem easily offended by certain religious observances
but feel right at home with less savory proclamations. These appear to be the same politically
correct folks that demand eggs of all colors to be respected but when you show
the color of Christianity they demean it by saying Christianity is too
judgmental, to obsolete, and too hypocritical.
As political correctness scrambles America’s moral compass and values,
it is not all it is cracked up to be; its arguments are fragile and easily
broken.
Freedom of speech is the bedrock of our
Constitution and our America. Those that might complain to the newspaper,
although I don’t agree, have every right to complain. But, what they
should realize and respect is the right of the newspaper to print “Christ is
Risen.”
Last Friday was a Good Friday! Jesus
Christ, the most amazing person in history was honored and freedom of speech
was expressed uninhibited by our local media. There may still be hope for
America after all.
