“In many respects I would find an unresurrected Jesus easier to accept. Easter makes him dangerous.

Like the disciples, I never know where Jesus might turn up, how he might speak to me, what he might ask of me. As Frederick Buechner says, Easter means ‘we can never nail him down, not even if the nails we use are real and the thing we nail him to is a cross.’”
