"Jesus didn't really rise from the dead," Mike told the members of the visitation team from a nearby church. "I've read those books that tell the real story. Jesus' later followers concocted the whole idea of the resurrection. Jesus married, had children and died like anyone else; so don't tell me what I ought to believe or how I ought to live. I'm not buying it."Mike's biting response to his visitors mirrors too often the confused culture of our day. Many people dismiss the biblical witness about Jesus' resurrection as myth or superstition. Meanwhile they accept without question whatever the latest popular book, movie or TV documentary present. However, the Scriptures, people's changed lives and the continuing spread of the Christian faith steadily bear witness to the gospel truth:
JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!
The Scriptures reveal sound reasons to worship Jesus as the living Lord.
Matthew 28:1-17
