Today’s reading comes from C.S. Lewis’ essay directly entitled “Resurrection.” In it, Lewis uses, at least in part, his Trilemma argument from the whole foundation of Christ to argue for a true, revolutionary resurrection. The Trilemma stated that Jesus was either Lord, Liar, or Lunatic. For the Resurrection it is more like Lewis’ dualemma. Either God came down into humanity and pulled humanity out of death (Christian view) or it’s a crazed deception (lunacy or lies). Evidence, historical and literary, points to an empty tomb and a real resurrection. This reality was brand new in creation. This was death to life and that reality leaves us with a choice that Lewis characterizes succinctly, “You must accept or reject the story.” The acceptance of the resurrection leaves us not with just a speculative, “wow that changes everything.” It should leave us with the introspective question of “how does it change me?” Lewis turns the essay into a conversation. Coming from the point of a person who’s life has been changed by the realness of Jesus, Lewis asks readers to consider if it might also be real for them. This is part of Spiritual formation, as the Spiritual truths of Christ become real for us they show up in real life in real conversations among our various human relationships. John 3:1-16, Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, is an example of this kind of conversation. Jesus, with patience and respect, talks to Nicodemus, starting from Nicodemus’ perspective and going towards Spiritual truth. Some us were taught that “good” Christians show up at a strangers’ front door and recount the bullet points of an evangelistic tract. At least in John 3 we don’t see this as the example from Jesus. The resurrection changes everything, so maybe it should change our conversations as well.
