It
seems to be age appropriate. We get in the car to take a short outing and one
of the younger kids will invariably ask, "Where are we going?" or "How long will
this take?" It may not seem like such a big question, but what does knowing the
answer change? Our eight-year-old really has no other option since he can't stay
home alone.
Even many world
events really don't matter for long. Who wins hockey's Stanley
Cup, the Super Bowl, World
Cup Soccer, or the World Series makes little impact on the majority
of humanity. But this week
Christians everywhere acknowledge a pivotal point in
history that literally affects
EVERYONE! That event is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"He is not
here, but He is risen" (verse
6) are words that matter eternally. If
they are a lie, humanity has
no hope after this life. If they are the truth, rejecting the Risen
Lord Jesus Christ has eternal
consequences. "He who has the Son has the life; he who does
not have the Son of God does
not have the life" (I
John 5:12).
Paul said
(I
Corinthians 15:14) "and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching
is vain, your faith also is vain."
Many things
we believe and do daily matter little. But the Resurrection
is eternally important. What difference does it make in your life today?
