By John Stenen I find it difficult to believe that so many people do not believe in God and are convinced that the Bible is nothing but fabricated lies. Even the first century historian Josephus writes that Jesus existed, He was crucified, and rose on the third day. He was also known to perform many miracles. The apostle Paul tells us that Jesus was seen by over five hundred eye-witnesses after His death on the cross. If His being raised from the dead was a huge hoax, then why were all the disciples and millions and millions of Christians throughout the centuries willing to die proclaiming His resurrection? Jesus Christ indeed is risen from the dead! I know this for a fact, for He lives within me. When a Christian dies, he or she is more alive than they have ever been while living on planet earth. One day their dead bodies are also going to be resurrected into a glorified body that will be like what Christ has, never to be subject to illness or death again. Surrender to Jesus today, and you also can have this wonderful hope that all Christians have in Christ. God bless
