Easter
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.
~1 Corinthians 15:17-19
Next Sunday, millions of Christians around the world will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That means millions actually believe a Jewish rabbi who was executed for treason about two thousand years ago physically rose from the dead and is alive today. This belief is so central to the Christian religion that the Apostle Paul (quoted above) considered the entire faith worthless if isn't true.
So here is the challenge to our Christian readers:
1. Do you believe that Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead? If so, why?
2. Why should anybody else believe Jesus rose from the dead?
