Happy Easter! This 2015th Easter Sunday commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Easter Sunday is the MOST important day for Christians because of its fantastic claim, Jesus rising from the dead, the death of Death.

I am a follower of Jesus not because it's easy, but this claim of Jesus rising from the dead is EITHER TRUE OR FALSE. If it's false, we followers of Jesus are the most pathetic ; ( ! If it's true, those who are not followers of Jesus have ISSUES ; (

I believe in Christianity because it is TRUE -- based on EVIDENCE from history; from nature and this AMAZING created world, including us, our mind, our body; of countless transformed lives; from personal experience--not because it is easy. It is EVIDENCE-based FAITH.

One of my favorite quotes is from one of my all-time favorite authors, Oxford don CS Lewis: 

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
