Title:
William H. Willimon - "Easter Is Large" (April 12, 1998)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 02:03. Sermon end time: 15:49.

  • The preacher has problems with movies such as Titanic wherein tragedies of massive deaths are often reduced to personal relationships and love affairs. He argues that death is a great issue. By contrast, in the Bible, the death of one man, Jesus, is depicted as a cosmic triumph over death. The preacher argues that death is large, but Easter is larger. Christian hope does not come from human beings clinging to each other for comfort, but God’s act against death on the Cross. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
