We would like to believe we are self-assured of our convictions, that it does not matter to us what other people think regarding what we consider to be most important in life. But deep down, we know it does. If someone we respect even questions something we value, our thinking is challenged. And usually, we either confront that person and a debate ensues, or we walk away and dismiss their opinion as being uninformed and maybe even just plain stupid. What we most often do not do is research and reevaluate the reasons for which we hold to our principles.
Maybe you’ve been a Christian for a long time. Maybe it’s been only recently you’ve put your trust in Christ as your Savior and Lord. Regardless of how long you’ve identified yourself as a follower of Christ, you’ve realized that you live in a world that is at best, apathetic towards Jesus and at worst, hostile to him. The One you value highest in your life is completely irrelevant to most of the people with whom you spend time. What makes it even more unnerving is that many of these folks are very moral, they are enjoyable to be around, they’re educated and successful. It is impossible to live as a Christian and not wonder, “Is what I believe about Jesus true?”
For the last four weeks, each Sunday we have studied the eternity changing implications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. One last, but extremely essential question needs to be raised, “Did Christ actually rise from the dead?” More than 5 billion people living today believe he did not. What are the solid, convincing reasons we believe that indicate he did come back to life? If you are unsure of those reasons, join us for our worship service this Sunday. It’s not wrong to ask, “Is the resurrection true?” What is disastrous, however, is to ignore all the evidence Jesus left us to answer that question.
