Easter's Call to Believe

Why is it not anymore crazy to believe Jesus rose from the dead? Think about all we have done today or are going to do: new dresses, hiding eggs, coming to church, go home and have a big dinner, not to mention our living the Christian life - and the reason we are doing all this is because we believe a man was killed and buried on Friday and was up walking around and greeting people on Sunday. Does that make sense? No. But here we are. In the scientific world we live in is it just silly to believe like this? Actually you don't have to be in the scientific world of today. Jesus' followers had a pretty hard time believing it also, even when Jesus told them He would rise again, and even when they started hearing reports of it - they didn't believe. Belief is hard, but your life depends on it.
