Just a quick thought concerning the truth of the Resurrection . What I have found very interesting over all that when skeptics try to attack this central truth of the Christian faith , their arguments are fairly mute. They don't really engage the historicity of the claims as much they try to generally point to things like miracles can't happen , the disciples where deluded , that it was a mere myth concocted to create a movement etc... However the fact remains something happened that Sunday morning that caused a monumental change in the the cowardly fleeing ,trembling group just a few nights before .
You can chalk it up to delusion , to myth if you is wish . But to do so is to ignore all the other ways we investigate other historical data seriously. But then again when looking at the truth of Jesus rising from the dead , confronts all of us with a reality we do not want . That God has revealed Himself in Jesus , the Son . That we are caught in sin and trespasses and He is Lord of all . He is king and therefore he has claim on our lives .
The resurrection leaves us no wiggle room . No place for any person to hide. We must shout this truth from the mountain tops because by proclaiming the crucifixion and the resurrection , we deliver the only hope the sinner has . We most not soften it , mold it or downplay it . It is the gospel and it is the power unto salvation.
Jesus is risen . Indeed .
