Resurrection Sunday is the greatest day in human history.

If your eyes saw the crucifixion and resurrection, would you believe it? Many had opinions and voiced accusations against Jesus. Could you be one of the people who heard Jesus preach and still not believe? After 2,000 years of this story, His message is repeated around the world. This is the greatest story ever told. Yet the story does not end at the resurrection.

Can this story be trusted? Can it be true? Some in our culture teach that this did not happen. We can believe, but what do you believe? God's truth or man's? What is your reaction to the crucifixion? Human beings treated and abused another human being this way. God planned to rescue many who He wanted to bring back to HIM. It costed heaven everything. What a price to pay.

God has made available joy, happiness, and peace which allows us to control ourselves. The grace of God provides a powered life. Do you allow God to direct your steps? Or do you still want to be your own (wo)man? Time is up. You have to make a choice. Do not let satan fool you into thinking you have more time to make a decision. You do not know when your time will end. Do not take a chance. It is appointed to man once to die and after that judgment. What are you going to do with this information? The older you get the less time you have to play around.

You may say the church is fake. The church is not fake, but there may be some fake people in it. (This is still not an excuse.) Jesus died for your transformation. Some people only think about getting saved to avoid hell. But there is a life after accepting Christ. There is a different and better life for you. It does not mean that you will not have any trouble. What's important is how you go through troubling times. It's your attitude, faith in God, thought processes, decision making, stamina and fortitude that will bring victory.

Ask God to take the rubble of your life to build something meaningful. Jesus came to save your life. But is it true for you? The gift is given, but you have to accept it. Come out from where you are. Just as you are. Today is your day. Do not say Jesus is a myth without examining the evidence. Do not say you're good enough. You're good enough compared to who?

If you decide to accept Christ, do not just give your life, give your entire being. A serious follower would rather embrace and tackle difficulty than do things the easy way. Serious followers strive for discipline and discipleship. We cannot live life in just any kind of way. By extension, from Jesus to you, you do not belong to you. As a believer, you now belong to and represent God.

2000 years ago a man was born contrary to the normal ways of life, the virgin birth. He was poor, traveled within confined areas, his family was unremarkable, lacked formal education, never wrote a book or a song, he did not marshal armies. However, He has more followers, changed many lives, has had many songs written about Him, causes believers to worship together, and has a book (the Bible) written about Him in just about every library on earth. His enemies could not and can not destroy Him and the grave could not hold him. He is risen as Lord and Savior of multitudes.

God is calling you forward. He will give you a platform in your community. You are the one God is talking to.

HE is RISEN. HE is RISEN indeed.
