Easter

"The Resurrection is the central event of Christianity on which the whole religion hangs."
Thomas Huxley - Agnostic
this was written by a man who believed it was impossible to know whether there is, in fact, a God. that being said, the resurrection of Christ is one historical event for which there is a tremendous amount of evidence. if i were Thomas Huxley, i think i would have reconsidered and believed in the only God that has ever risen from the dead.
all the same, i thank him for this quote, for it is indeed accurate and ironically (from an agnostic), a testimony to the truth of the gospel.
our salvation, the message of Christianity, was the result of Christ's death and resurrection.
so yes, thankfully, this most magnificent event is the one on which our religion hinges.
we are freed from a life of sin when we choose to repent and believe in Him.
i hope you find great hope in that knowledge, as i do.
what a celebration resurrection sunday should be!!
"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies..."
John 11:25
there are no pictures to encapsulate the easter message, but all the same, i included a few from our weekend.
