Jesus

Last night we helped out with our Churches Alpha group. It was a really great night. My other half gave the talk about who Jesus was. It was a really interesting evening which led to quite a bit of discussion about Jesus’ existence. It amazed me that despite all the evidence, not just in the bible but other none biased historical documents etc... people had really strange ideas about who Jesus is. And what actually happened to him. One person suggested that after his crucifixion he survived and went off to INDIA!! So he never rose from the dead. I almost think they have no real understanding of how brutal the Romans were. In that day when they crucified someone it was to execute them in a very slow and inhumane way.

When it comes to God I think some people would rather believe the impossible than to believe in God. I actually think it takes more faith to believe there is no God. Maybe that’s because I know God to be true. We’ve had so many amazing things happen in our lives that is more then just coincidence, it’s not just about getting what you want in life it’s experiencing deep love and fulfilment, hope and intimacy like you’ve never know it.. I know a number of angry people who refuse to believe and their anger never goes away. What hope without God is there? Why do people refuse to even step out in faith to see if he is there? Maybe they think the cost is too high. How deceived they really are.
