This is a 2000-year-old question: why did Jesus have to die? Seriously, Jesus died a horrible death. And for what? He didn’t do anything! He was sinless. The problem was, that the world was not. Humans were not. People were not. Why Jesus, why then, why not? Let’s dig in… God’s Love for Us Humans …

What is the Christian Creed? Paul reveals it for us in 1 Corinthians 15… Seek the Truth…
I recently did a series on the Apostles’ Creed as the foundation of what Christians profess to believe.

I’ll believe it when I see it. That’s something you say when you’re told something rather outrageous, unbelievable or from someone who’s not exactly trustworthy.
It’s hot news. It’s the talk of the town. Everybody’s buzzing about it. Wow! Jesus was dead and his body was gone! So, this “stranger” comes up to you and your friend and asks you what all the excitement about? You wonder, “Where’s this person been? Under a rock? How can he not know what happened?”
As in Matthew, the women are comforted with the words, “Don’t be alarmed.” But, Mark tells of the women seeing a “young man dressed in a white robe.” We assume the man is an angel of God because he says clearly that Jesus “has risen! He is not here.”
Remember the women were the last ones at the cross…and the first ones at the tomb.
In Matthew, the women are running after discovering the empty tomb to tell the male members of Jesus’ followers and suddenly Jesus appears in front of them. He allows them to touch Him to prove to them that He is alive. They fall to their knees and worship Him. They are the first to see the Living Christ.
The is the greatest day! What happened on that Sunday morning is cornerstone of Christian belief. If it weren’t for Christ’s Resurrection, nothing He said would have meant anything. He would have been just like any other human being, any other prophet, any other teacher.
