I believe a man was dead for more than 48 hours and came back to life.

I am painfully aware how much of a lunatic I sound like. Resurrection was an inconceivable hurdle for me.

It defies all reason.

I am utterly unable to intellectually grasp it, to explain it or reproduce it.

As a person with even a rudimentary science education, it is either utter foolishness or it calls the very nature of reality* into question.

*pointing to the existence of a superseding reality [another, higher dimension] that we have no ability to perceive but can only receive

And, that's the point.

The Gospel, namely the resurrection, is an amazing claim that leaves only one option: to consider the source and accept or reject it.

The source is Jesus sent from God the Father as Savior of the world to return existence to God's design for the true nature of reality.

The gospel forces the question about the veracity of that claim, and so should our ministry, our testimony and our very lives.

Did Jesus exist? Did He die and resurrect? If true, what does that mean about everything?
