Easter seems to be a difficult time for unbelievers. While Christians celebrate the passion of Jesus Christ that brings salvation for all who believe in Him, atheists and other sceptics try to explain why they are unwilling to accept the testimony of hundreds of reliable witnesses who saw the Lord Jesus alive after the resurrection.
They have invented several conspiracy theories as an excuse for not believing a historical fact.
The Apostle Paul says that Jesus is the Last Adam.
The first Adam brought death into the world by eating from a tree.
The Last Adam overcame death by dying on a tree.
Just in time for Easter, Graham Lawton asks whether atheism is a religion. While he would not agree with my conclusion, atheism requires faith. It relies on a speculative and ever-changing narrative of how we got here.
In contrast, the Bible is based on true history. Jesus’ empty tomb confirms that He is truly risen.
Have a blessed Easter time!
