Christ our Lord is risen

We are here to celebrate the greatest day in history from the moment God created heaven and earth until Christ returns. And that's a mighty big statement, isn't it?
 
How do I have the audacity to claim that? Because on the day of Jesus' resurrection he proved salvation was possible and so everything changes for everyone who has ever and will ever live.
 
It changed my life and it changed your life; and if you doubt that claim finding, it so hard to comprehend in this secular earthly existence I beg of you not just to walk the walk but to dig deep.
 
Even if you simply wish to reaffirm your belief today, after you've eaten your roast lamb, find a Bible and read 1 Corinthians 15. It contains Paul's logical succinct argument for belief in the resurrection backed up by eye witness accounts. The resurrection was not just a mythical event to them but a factual historical miracle.
 
Or if you relate to a more visual experience watch a fabulous  movie: The case for Christ, a true story about an investigative journalist who was an avid atheist. He embarked on a research campaign to disprove Jesus' resurrection, but at the end he falls to his knees in astonishment and complete acceptance that Jesus, fully God and fully man, walked with us on this earth, died by crucifixion and rose again in glory.
 
And if your heart is touched and changed then please work through how to respond to that new found truth.
