Welcome to The Light, where we slow down long enough to notice what matters.
Mel Gibson's long-anticipated follow-up to The Passion of the Christ will wait a little longer to arrive. The two-part Resurrection of the Christ has been pushed back a year, with Part One now set for Good Friday, April fourteenth, two thousand twenty eight. There is something quietly fitting about a story of resurrection requiring more time.
From the sacred to the civic, archaeologists and historians are tracing the roots of what some call sewer socialism, the ancient instinct to build shared infrastructure for the common good. It turns out cities four thousand years ago understood something we still argue about today, that clean water and collective care are not radical ideas, but simply what civilization looks like when it takes itself seriously.
And in Texas, Pastor Robert Jeffress is holding his endorsement in the Cornyn-Paxton Senate runoff, though he believes Evangelical voters will unify behind whichever Republican prevails. What lingers in that posture is the old tension between conviction and coalition, between what one believes and what one is willing to build together.
That is this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
