FACT OR FICTION

What's Easter all about? Easter bunnies, coloured eggs, Christ's resurrection? What say ye? i might have my opinion but some disagree. They say the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is either... the greatest event, or the greatest fraud in history! Did Jesus Christ actually rise from the dead? Dr. Simon Greenleaf, the Royal Professor of Law at Harvard University, was one of the greatest legal minds that ever lived. He believed the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a hoax. And he determined, once and for all, to expose the "myth" of the Resurrection. After thoroughly examining the evidence for the resurrection — Dr. Greenleaf came to the exact opposite conclusion! He concluded that according to the jurisdiction of legal evidence the resurrection of Jesus Christ was the best supported event in all of history! What changed his mind? What evidence did Dr. Greenleaf encounter that so drastically turned him around? What facts did he discover that he could not rationally ignore? For more information see http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/jesus/greenleaf.html The church in Corinth had to deal with similar problems. Many false teachers claimed that there was no resurrection from the dead. Paul told them that if Christ was not raised, then the salvation proclaimed through Christ was a lie and they were still pitifully lost in their sins. Where Adam’s sin brought death to all, Christ’s death and resurrection bring new life to all who come to Him. Only those who are in Christ through spiritual birth will be raised to live eternally with Him. The hope that the Resurrection brings encourages us to look back to what Christ did for us through His death and resurrection and to look forward to what He will do for us when He comes again. We need to live today as people who are convinced that eternal life is ours through faith in Christ. Christ’s Victory over death and sin is available to all who believe in Him. The hope in the Resurrection can help believers now and in the future. In the present, that victory is over sin, in the future, that victory will provide us with incorruptible bodies. As believers, the hope of our resurrection can have a powerful impact on our lives, guarantees victory over death 1Corinthians 15:20. We know our future is in God’s hands, a future that is wonderful beyond description. So we can steadfastly and confidently serve God, knowing that our work for Him is not in vain. JESUS DIED! IT’S NOT A STORY...IT'S A MESSAGE. Happy celebration of this great weekend & the future; Happy Easter!
