Both Jewish and Roman sources and traditions admit an empty tomb.

It is more rewarding to resolve a conflict than to dissolve a relationship.

The New Testament witnesses were fully aware of the background against which the resurrection took place.

Many people entertain the idea that Christianity,like almost any other religion,is basically a system of beliefs-you know, a set of doctrines or a code of behavior, a philosophy, an ideology. But that's a myth. Christianity is not at all like Buddhism or Islam or Confucianism. The founders of those religions said (in effect), 'Here is what I teach. Believe my teachings. Follow my philosophy.' Jesus said, 'Follow me'(Matthew 9:9). Leaders of the world's religions said, 'What do you think about what I teach?' Jesus said, 'Who do you say I am?'(Luke 9:20)

Both Jewish and Roman sources and traditions admit an empty tomb.

While the resurrection promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present life.

My greatest asset now is my focus.
