I think probably one of the biggest errors ever made when it comes to the proclamation of the gospel

is the omission of the resurrection. I mean it's so common that I'm not surprised by it anymore and I always wonder why is that and I think it's

mainly because it's been often de-emphasized you know we focus on it during Easter time

but but people focus on the cross across the

death of Christ but without the resurrection the death really means nothing because

it would have demonstrated the fact that he wasn't who he said he was.

He wasn't truly the propitiation for the sins of mankind.

But that's a part of the gospel.

First Corinthians 15 makes it very clear that he died according to the scripture and

that he was raised at their day according to the scriptures.

And even the disciples were often baffled by that.

He talked about, you know, tear down this temple in three days, I'll raise it again.

They just, they didn't get it, you know, and it's like after he died and rose again,

ah, then they remembered, you know, it kind of clicked. But man, the resurrection, that is the true hope of the Christian. I have a little shadow that goes in and out of me

and what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head and I see him jump before me when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow, not at all like proper

children which is always very slow, for he sometimes shoots up taller like in India rubber

ball and he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
