the risen life of christ.e emptiness of good friday to the abundance of easter sunday, the empty tomb to the risen christ. i bring all this up because we hear plenty about emptiness these days, don't we? thanks to the dreaded pandemic. empty dinner tables for passover and easter. because family and friends can't get together. empty schools and factories, restaurants, roads and airplanes. empty wallets, empty bank accounts. empty chairs at home for -- where those we cherished used to sit with us. empty churches and empty collection basket which worries monsignor richie. empty lives. some wonder, is there tempted to conclude all that filled their days before might now be gone? i ask this pascal morning, could the empty tomb of easter be a metaphor for our world and our lives? could it be a whispered invitation from the risen one to search for the living one, not among the dead? as alexander zolsinitze the towering russian human rights profit from last century who spent weekends in a gulag wrote the worst depress

they can call directly to god through christ and receive the body of christ, the communion and administer to themselves and receive it in christ's name. people forget that. it is one of the reasons why christ was crucified. many of the religious leaders were frightened they were losing control and power. christ did that all through his life. that is why he took a bullwhip to the temple. i don't want to make it to political, but he was pointing out a lot of fake news of the day. host: david brody, any thoughts? guest: i like how we turned it into a fake news story. he is absolutely right. there is the sermon of the morning and beyond that what is important is to understand that what he said is true which is you don't have to necessarily be in a church to worship god. is there a community aspect to it? yes, is church important, of course. that is a lot of what people are missing, the community aspect to all of this but the main point is correct and this is something that a lot of people don't quite get which is christianity is called a religion but a relationship with god is not a religion.

verend jim ba -- jim wallis, his latest book is "christ in crisis." we go to michigan. caller: i appreciate the time. try to make it short. in reference to mr. wallis' comment and also the text message you read about people accepting this as a smite from god. god gave us the truth to believe so the freedom he gives all individuals but we are still responsible for what we do, whether it is spreading truth or not. and i do know that according to god, in reference to our relationship with him, i accept, and i know it's offensive to god in not acknowledging his hand in all things, metaphorically, i had a relationship with my father, there's times he did good and times he disciplined me, so saying that's metaphoric how we're supposed to look at god. he's a god that does good, does good all the time. when he chacins us he tests us and this is part of us humbling our imagination because we end up forming perceptions of god he doesn't want to correct us or can't use death or some sort of affliction to chacin our attitudes that this life isn't the end all, be all, and mannerisms

we see that in christ's name. people forget that, which is one of the reasons that christ was crucified. many of the religious leaders were threatened. there were losing control and power. christ did that all through his life. that is why he took a bullwhip to people in the temple. i don't want to make it to political. he was pointing out a lot of fake news of the day. host: lawrence, we will let you go. david brody, any thoughts on that? guest: no, he is absolutely right. there is the sermon of the morning. i think beyond that, what is is thatt to understand what he said is true. you don't have to necessarily be in a church to worship god. is there a community aspect to it? yes. his church important? of course, to be around a body of believers, 100%. i think that is a lot of what people are missing, the community aspect to all of this. but his main point is correct, bill. this is something a lot of people don't quite get, which is christianity is called a religion, but a relationship with god is not a religion. a

christians from all around the world remember the suffering and death of jesus christ. on easter sunday, we will celebrate his glorious resurrection. our nation is engaged in a battle like never before. while brave doctors, nurses and first responders, responders of lives,e fighting to save our workers are racing to deliver critical medical supplies. working scientists are around-the-clock the clock to develop lifesaving therapeutics. i think they are doing really well. our people are making tremendous sacrifices to end this pandemic. though we will not be able to gather together with one another as we normally would on easter, we can use this sacred time to focus on prayer, reflection and growing in our personal relationship with god. i ask all americans to pray that god will hear our nation, to bring comfort to those who are grieving, to give strength to the doctors, nurses and health care workers, to restore health to the sake and to renew the hope -- to the sick and to renew hope for every person who is suffering. i think the many families who have prayed for me and

jesus christ the savior of christianity. was he a jew or was he a palestinian?here on the streets of bethlehem, there is another narrative. >> when you go into manger square and baffle them, you'll see the palestinian authority is co-opted jesus. they have made him a palestinian. and his suffering is symbolic of the suffering of palestinians under israel. so as long as christians are willing to allow, or even promote this narrative, they are okay. christians who promote that jesus is a son of david, a jew, and a messiah, and seriously worship him, they are the ones who have a problem. >> so was jesus a jew or palestinian? >> if you studied all religion they want to kill jesus, he is palestinian. >> but for christians it's noted time and time again that in the new testament that jesus was a jew. he went to the holy temple. et cetera he worshiped at the holy temple with his father and mother. it's been. >> the jews tried to kill him. >> do you believe juices was a jew or palestinian? >> the word jew comes in the set 30s 30 century. that was after jesus. this is ju

and to remember christ is with us. one of the messages of good friday is jesus suffered the most intense pain, physical and emotional, spiritual and he understands what we're going through. so when you're praying to jesus, you're not praying to someone who understands you just because he's divine and knows all thing but because he's human and experienced all things, as we see on good friday. >> the other part of this season this whole week, what jews are experiencing with passover, family, friends, connections. with so much suffering, how difficult is it it's something that everybody has to grapple with. and in a sense by needing him. but as your correspondent was saying, a move back to family and friends and what's essential can help us sort of soften the blow a little bit and help us find love. the pope was saying a couple weeks ago this isn't god's judgment on us, but it might be our judgment, kind of an opportunity to see what's important for us in our lives. one of those things is family and friends and love basic

another reminder of this spiritual communion that we share in the body of christ. the holy days are the perfect paradigm for our time. holy thursday is about pouring out your love, good friday is about love lost, disappointment and betrayal. and easter sunday is about committing and doubling down to love again, in spite of all that's going on. the facts don't change but they're illuminated and they're illuminated with hope and joy. and so, to be a follower of jesus is to be an easter people. not an idealism but a hope that is born beyond all of us and to recognize that everything we have is pure gift. >> and on easter sunday, tomorrow, we will air san francisco's live easter celebration at 11:00 a.m. you can watch it live right here on abc 7 on abc 7 news.com, on facebook and on youtube. according to drew's forecast, it's going to be a cloudy start to easter tomorrow but we're going to shelter in place in home and we're going to be fine. abc 7 news continues tomorrow morning. we thank you so much for joining us. have a pleasant evening. joint pain, swelling, tender
