The Resurrection next to
Creation, the most important event in history
By Rev. Dr. John Hatcher
Religion Columnist
I remember it so well. The
astronauts had returned from their first landing on
the moon (for the first time man on the moon).
President Nixon had flown to the recovery aircraft
carrier to welcome the moon men who had been isolated
for fear of contamination. But President Nixon said,
This (man on the moon) is the greatest event
since creation. I thought, what about the
resurrection? Where in the scheme of things
historical and a-historicaldoes the
resurrection of Jesus from the dead come in? To me
with a Bible in hand, it seems the important events
are: creation, resurrection, and the third most
important event has not happened yet.
