I would like you to make it your New Year’s resolution to examine the resurrecti­on of Christ in an open, honest and fair way

-

Year’s resolution is to examine the resurrecti­on of Jesus, fairly and with an open mind. I, like most, was rather hostile to the thought of Jesus. I knew that the ramificati­ons of accepting Christ’s resurrecti­on as true would be huge in how that would change my life. It is definitely a fact that many people don’t just disbelieve because of the so-called lack of evidence. They disbelieve because it suits them. We have an existentia­l stake in the outcome. We want to live for the now and we suppose, rather than truly know, that believing in Christ would rob us of our independen­ce. It is said that “Heaven has a tight immigratio­n policy, hell on the other hand has an open border”. The stakes could never be higher in the decision or indecision regarding Jesus. We cannot afford to let ourselves get in the way of an honest inquiry. Why not make this your New Year’s resolution?
