Risen

“What evidence?” I was asked. Well, I said there is the historically documented empty tomb by the Roman guards as recounted by Josephus. There are the eye witness accounts by the disciples. The radically changed lives of those very same disciples who at the threat of death testified to what they had seen. The of course there is Paul, the ‘Osama Bin Laden’ against the early church who is now the leader of the early church. Then I said, “If this were a court of law and this was on trial and we had physical evidence and eye witness accounts and the charges against us were conspiracy…is there reasonable doubt that we wouldn’t be convicted of conspiracy?” You bet! But even more—He lives, and He lives in me. The Christ I see in you and the one you see in me is proof enough. He is risen, He is alive and He is alive in you.
