From the Pulpit...

We come back then to the resurrection of Jesus. Christians believe-- with utter certainty and conviction--that Jesus died and then on the third day rose again from the dead. This is not a guess or wishful thinking. It did truly happen. All the propaganda in the world cannot change that fact, yet that is what non-Christian people have been trying to do for centuries. Your mind is its own built-in propagandist, attempting to get around the truth about Jesus. But the implications of His resurrection are enormous. If you are not a Christian, the event of the resurrection calls for serious examination. If Jesus arose from the dead, it would seem to me from your perspective that there is a much higher likelihood that the Bible is true; that what Jesus taught is true; that what Christians have been saying for centuries is true; that Heaven is real; that Hell is dreadfully real; that all of us will face Jesus as judge; and all that is true despite some hang-ups or un-answered questions that you might have.
