Opinion | Taking Easter seriously: Freedom is essential means to unite with truth WashTimesOpEd
Yet two intolerable acts of Parliament so assaulted personal freedom that they broke the bonds with the mother country.
The second intolerable act was the Revenue Act of 1767, the proceeds from which the king used to pay the salaries of colonial officials and the king’s clergy, thereby securing their loyalty. Sometimes it is secret, as when the government reads emails and text messages and follows the movements of cellphones, all without search warrants, or when it uses drones to kill people the government hates or fears, without a declaration of war or any due process.
Freedom is the essence of humanity. No one can achieve happiness or truth without it. Government negates freedom. Taking Easter seriously recognizes that the Resurrection of Jesus is the linchpin of human existence “to which the whole creation moves.” With it, life is worth living, no matter its painful costs or losses. Without it, life is meaningless, no matter its fleeting joys or triumphs.
