We live in a mysterious universe. Sometimes the things that seem most obviously true are found to be hopelessly mistaken, and the things that seem most obviously misguided are found to be more true and more relevant to understanding the universe and our place in it than we could have possibly imagined. Sometimes the totally incredible is found to be true, and that which seems obviously real and true to any rational person ends up being fake and false. Things are not what they seem, but we open ourselves to the possibility of discovering the truth if we dare to question the obvious and to risk being seen as foolish. Please don’t write off the resurrection of Jesus from the grave as a bit of misguided religious zeal or wishful superstitious thinking that should be regarded as a relic of the past and archived in the vault of ideas that no longer seem plausible or relevant, for that is the greatest mistake that we could possibly make. If we will dare to open the door to the possibility that it might have actually happened the way the New Testament describes, we may discover that it’s really true, that what Christians have been declaring for 2,000 years is indeed what happened, and that it is the single most important and relevant act that has ever occurred in time and space. As for me, I cannot overlook a teaching that proposes a solution to the problems of evil, futility and death. I have come to believe that it is all true, and that is why I celebrate!
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men”. (John 1:4) “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”. (John 8:12)
