A few years ago, a group of atheists in England financed an advertising campaign where they wrapped buses with the following message: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." The questionable word in the ad isn't "probably"; it's "enjoy." This is a categorical error. There is much more to us, and life, than enjoyment. We can't just "enjoy" life, because we have more emotions than "enjoying." When we're not enjoying life, we're busy feeling hope, boredom, curiosity, anxiety, irritation, fear, joy, bewilderment, hate, tenderness, despair, relief, exhaustion, heartache, etc. The Resurrection of the Son of God, speaks to our minds, our souls, and our hearts.

If you've been following along with us at Mosaic, you know that we're approaching the 4th installment in our 5-part series, called "Why God Why." We've attempted to show that Christianity makes emotional sense, personal sense, and intellectual sense. Faith in Christ sustains both the weight of the heart and the mind. Last week I attempted to make the case for theism. However, even if there is a God, how do we know it's the Christian God? How do we know that Jesus Christ is God? Wasn't he just a man? Even if he was a great man, and a powerful, charismatic leader, wasn't he still a man?
