Easter reading 4: "That will be a merry meeting!"

If you missed the last two readings that were published during Easter week, 2023, look back and find them. This is the fourth and last reading of the series this Easter in answer to this question: What is the advantage of Jesus' literal, physical resurrection? In his book Miracles, C.S. Lewis talks about the unique quality of Nature as we know it. Though Nature is now fallen, subject to futility ("vanity," in the King James translation), as St. Paul says, it will be restored. As Lewis emphasizes, that restoration will bring back a real, recognizable, physical nature and through our acquaintance with it now, we will recognize it then. And that will be a merry meeting! Happy Easter. I'll be taking a couple of weeks off now from producing new content as I try to do some writing.
