Was He Resurrected?

I turned on the TV for a few minutes last night just before I went to bed and was a little surprised that both CNN and FOX News had a special on about Jesus. Ironically, both programs were somewhat positive. Do you realize what an impact the resurrection of our Lord and Savior has had on this godless world when even CNN feels the need to address it, at least on Easter Sunday?

A point that one of the programs made was that Christians recognize Jesus as the Messiah, Jews recognize Him as a great rabbi and even the Muslims recognize Him as a great prophet. A further proof, in my book, that He is the Son of God, when even the religions opposed to Him will not deny Him.

If Jesus truly was resurrected from the dead, then He will certainly return someday as He has promised and every knee will bow before Him and we will each stand before God in judgment. If He was not resurrected, then this religion thing is a waste of our time--but even CNN did not deny that Jesus was resurrected; there is too much proof.

I am thankful for the attention given last night to our Lord's resurrection on National TV, even it was only for a couple of hours out of the year. If He was not real and did not do all that the Bible says He did, then He would have been forgotten in the annuls of history centuries ago. But, even the most godless honor Him. Are we ready for His return?
