It contains, confines, and controls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It happens on the first Easter morning, when the dew of the garden still bears the footprints of the risen Christ. \u00a0So we should not be surprised that it happens still. \u00a0The imperial economy of fear has found new ways of crucifying its enemies and new ways of enslaving its subjects; it has found new ways to criss-cross the globe, ways even more direct than the roads for which ancient Rome was renowned. \u00a0It still directs its wealth, deploys its power, and disregards the truth. \u00a0Look no further than the tomb of Jesus. \u00a0Then it was sealed and guarded; this morning it is sealed and guarded. \u00a0The tomb of Jesus is at the heart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. \u00a0Its doors are locked by the Israeli military. \u00a0Only five Christians are permitted to enter at a time. \u00a0War ravages the region, and public gatherings for worship are forbidden.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, I bring you a word from Jerusalem; I received it on Maundy Thursday, from Richard Sewell, Dean of St George\u2019s College at our sister Anglican Cathedral. \u00a0Richard writes from the compound\u2019s underground bomb shelter: \u2018<em>Easter will dawn in Jerusalem, but there will still be occupation, and missiles will fly overhead. \u00a0Resurrection hope isn\u2019t the solution to everything, but it is the architecture of meaning, whether light is shining or if darkness endures. \u00a0We will proclaim \u2018Christ is Risen\u2019 as a statement of defiance\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We need to hear this word from the holy city, from the place where God\u2019s character and purposes were revealed in that first Holy Week, from the place which ought to be the still point of the turning world. \u00a0Resurrection hope isn\u2019t the solution to everything, Richard writes. \u00a0The frothy effervescence which we mistake for hope has no place in this Easter celebration. \u00a0Not while the imperial economy of fear continues to exert its grip on the world, destroying countless human lives, enriching the privileged few, poisoning the air we breathe and the water we drink, and trampling truth in the dirt. \u00a0While missiles fly and drones fall, woolly lambs, hopping bunnies, and (for that matter) sunny choruses of praise are an affront to the untold suffering of multitudes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Richard writes, resurrection hope is the architecture of meaning. \u00a0On the first Easter morning a new economy is declared. \u00a0The violence to which humans turn so readily is exposed as ultimately powerless, for the stone is rolled away and God raises Jesus from the dead. \u00a0\u2018<em>Do not be afraid\u2019<\/em> says the angel to the women; \u2018<em>Do not be afraid<\/em>\u2019 says Jesus to the women. \u00a0The same four words, twice addressed to the same two people. \u00a0The constitution of a new economy: do not be afraid. \u00a0The worst has already happened. \u00a0The worst has already been worsted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We live within this architecture, within God\u2019s new economy. \u00a0It\u2019s an economy of grace, an economy of loving forgiveness, an economy of loving solidarity. \u00a0\u2018<em>Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee\u2019<\/em> says Jesus. \u00a0\u2018<em>My brothers\u2019<\/em>: men like Peter, men who on Good Friday deserted Jesus and fled. \u00a0There has been no repentance. \u00a0They have made no apology. \u00a0But in the economy of grace that doesn\u2019t matter. \u00a0These weak and selfish men are now the brothers of the one whom God has raised. \u00a0Small wonder that when Peter stands up in the house of Cornelius he speaks of forgiveness for all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s an economy of right worship. \u00a0When the women catch sight of Jesus they fall down before him, just like the wise men who came from the East in search of an infant King. \u00a0The wise do not collude with the economy of fear by worshipping power or wealth or fame or beauty. \u00a0The wise worship that over which they have no control, that which surpasses their capacity to comprehend, that which comes not from the dark side of the moon but from the bright side of eternity. \u00a0They worship the only one worthy of worship: the Holy One of God.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Easter morning. \u00a0Welcome to the economy of grace! \u00a0Welcome to the economy which must prevail. \u00a0Remember Peter in the house of Cornelius; Peter at the heart of empire; Peter in the home of one of its foot soldiers. \u00a0Remember Peter standing up, shrugging off fear, and proclaiming that God raised Jesus on the third day. \u00a0And remember that Cornelius and his Roman household were baptised in the name of Jesus. \u00a0So: look around you. \u00a0See only your brothers and sisters. \u00a0Look around you. \u00a0Violence cannot triumph. \u00a0Look around you. \u00a0God will do a new thing. \u00a0Do not be afraid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For Christ is risen. \u00a0A statement realized in bread and wine, but a statement of defiance indeed, a statement flung at the cruelty, dishonesty and corruption that make a Hell of God\u2019s Earth; a statement flung at the partisans of empire and its economy of fear; and a statement that we utter with and on behalf of those whose worship is contained, confined, and controlled, on behalf of those whose voices are silent today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This morning, the Holy Sepulchre should resound with words offered in innumerable tongues. \u00a0Many of these words I don\u2019t understand, but these few I do, in Greek, Arabic, and English. \u00a0So:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Christos Anestei\u2026Alithos anestei. \u00a0Al Massih Qam\u2026Hakkan qam. \u00a0Christ is risen\u2026He is risen indeed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Alleluia! \u00a0Alleluia! \u00a0Alleluia!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday 5 April 2026,
