Resurrection Joy
“ 19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week…
Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with
you.” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his
side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord” (John
20:19-20)
BY REV RAY PURDIE
MINISTERIAL MESSAGES
This is the Season of Easter, the time when Christians celebrate the Good News
of the empty tomb. In John’s retelling of the story, the disciples gathered in the upper
room had been told of the resurrection, but many still could not believe Jesus’ triumphal
defeat of death until they saw him for themselves. And when they do, when Jesus
comes to them showing the wounds of his hands and side, doubts are overcome
and then they rejoice.
Up to the point of Jesus’ crucifixion, it appeared that humans were controlling the
events of Holy Week. But now, in the resurrection, God’s purpose is finally revealed.
Jesus’ ministry on earth is ending, but if it is to realize the goal of a world made new,
it’s time for the torch to be passed into human hands.
The disciples, filled now with hope, receive the Holy Spirit and are assigned by
Jesus to take up his ministry of salvation. As he says: “as my Father sent me, so now
I send you.” (John 19:21)
But, they lived in a world where Roman oppression meant justice and peace were
unavailable to common folk, where racial hatred divided people and the weak exploited
by the rich and powerful. It is into this brutal environment of systemic oppression
that the disciples are sent to preach a gospel of hope, love, peace and grace. To any
rational person, it might have seemed to be an impossible task. And yet, moved as
witnesses to the risen Christ and strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, the disciples
are quick to respond with enthusiasm, anxious to share the Good News.
“Resurrection Joy “means that every generation of the faithful has the same task of
following in Jesus’ steps in an effort to give love a chance.
The times in which we live are no different. Although our world has been going
through a tough period with the COVID pandemic, unending wars in the middle east
and now Ukraine producing a new refugee crisis, our hope for achieving peace, justice
and love can seem a bridge too far.
Yet, “Resurrection Joy” makes the faithful believers in the possibility of transformation.
And, looking carefully, we see signs of a new creation everywhere.
The pandemic is waning overcome by science and common-sense sacrifices by
people following public health mandates. The bravery and success of the Ukrainian
people in defending their country and democracy in the world is an inspiration suggesting
evil will not triumph. The world uniting behind efforts to deal effectively with
the refugee crises demonstrates compassion. And progress in our own nation toward
reconciliation with indigenous peoples based on truth-telling demonstrates that healing
is possible if we live to love.
So, in 2022, let’s take up the challenge of living “Resurrection Joy,” knowing that we
are not alone in the effort.

HORSEPOWER - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 11
If you’re tired of burning gas and diesel, it’s time to try water. Burning water is
every firefighter’s nightmare, but it was the dream of C.H. Garrett in the 1930s. In
every example I could find of someone trying to create a water-fuelled automobile,
an electrolytic device is used to separate the two-parts hydrogen from the oxygen
so that it can be burned. Sometimes it’s in the spark plugs, but I prefer the Garrett
method with an electrolytic carburetor. Using only a strong battery and generator,
all the power needed to separate the hydrogen, and the oxygen was onboard at
all times. Garrett patented his idea and even provided a demonstration to reporters.
Sadly, nothing ever came of it, but why? Doing a little more research, I came
across an article on rexresearch.com that gave a very detailed set of blueprints and
a great explanation of how it all worked. Underneath that, however, there was an
even more detailed explanation from a man named Norman Green, who dissected
the whole idea with some pretty solid evidence. It’s a long, involved read, but
to sum it up, the electrolytic tank would have to be larger than the vehicle it was
meant to propel, and it would require more horsepower than the engine could ever
produce to spin the generator. Was Garrett using some smoke and mirrors when
he did his demonstrations? Did Norman Green blind me with science or baffle me
with bull? If this took off, would big oil be replaced by big water? Could the government
find a way to tax the rain? Unfortunately, sometimes there’s only information,
not answers.
