Easter Weekend

This is it. The greatest celebration we as Christ followers experience is marked this weekend. Christ arose from the dead. But before that he died for my sin on the cross. He loves me that much. But he loves you that much too. We can all be saved if we accept the free gift of eternal life. The only thing you have to do to use a gift is to accept it. So I encourage you now to accept the gift of God. Accept Jesus Christ and his sacrifice and resurrection and believe and be saved.

Do you believe the above? I do. But how? How can a thinking person believe this? We will be looking at that this week.

We will be looking at intense questions and assertions. Those who would have us deny Jesus, and who reject him themselves, they make these assertions and ask these questions.

-Was Jesus body thrown into a mass grave?
-Were the women who followed Jesus simply confused and went to the wrong tomb?
-Did Jesus survive the crucifixion and go on to live a life undocumented?

These questions are real. We will discuss these answers this week at Providence. I will also attempt to answer these assertions on this blog.

If you have additional questions concerning the resurrection of Jesus, post them here, and let us discuss them openly.

Jesus body was not left in a mass tomb. That is inconsistent with the action of those who opposed Jesus in those days. i.e. Why would the Jews accuse the apostles of stealing the body if they had allowed it to be thrown into a mass grave? They wouldn’t have. Therefore the mass grave option is not legit. We'll address more tomorrow.
