C S Lewis said it well…
Here is a door, behind which, according to some people, the secret of the universe is waiting for you. Either that’s true, or it isn’t. And if it isn’t, then what the door really conceals is simply the greatest fraud, the most colossal ‘sell’ on record. Isn’t it obviously the job of every man (that is a man and not a rabbit) to try to find out which, and then to devote his full energies either to serving this tremendous secret or to exposing and destroying this gigantic humbug?
If Jesus rose from the dead, there are enormous consequences… we have to take seriously all else he did and taught… and commanded, and as such we owe him our entire obedience as our king. If he didn’t, the the entire Christian faith is a fraud and we need to reject it and not look back.
It is a matter of eternal life and death to everyone, if Jesus did indeed rise and thus confirmed all else that he told about life and death, both now and eternally, then we need to take seriously what Jesus said about life and death, no?
