The Rants of Issachar

Easter Sunday

Sometimes I think about how amazing it is that nearly 2000 years after it happened we're celebrating the resurection of Jesus Christ.

Separated from the event by so much time, we might forget just how amazing it was. Dying for us and coming back three days later... If it sounds unbelievable, it should.

Dr. Rikki Watts said it very well: I'm a Christian not because I believe in resurrections. I'm a Christian because I don't. I don't believe in resurrections, but this one happened; that's why I'm a Christian.

To say that the story must be a myth because resurections don't happen is to miss the point.

As the saying goes...

He is risen! He is risen indeed...
