Watergate is a great example of a cover-up attempt.... a conspiracy. The basics of a cover-up are engrained in us all... from stealing cookies and breaking windows to telling lies (whether little or big.) At the same time, this concept of cover-up is at the heart of the resurrection story, and it's back story. But so often we get lost in the weeds. So often we get in the habit of throwing around theological terms like 'atonement' and 'sacrifice' and we lose contact with the situations that demand their presence. This episode will be dropped on Good Friday.... a day where terms like this, or passover, are used at length... but I'd like to go back to the beginning .... to the need for such a thing... to the genesis of it all. Literally, to Genesis 3. What happened that triggered this Holy Weekend? What happened in the heart of man, and what was happening in the heart of God?
