"If Jesus Christ was actually raised from the dead - if he really got up, walked out, was seen by hundreds of people, talked to them. If he was raised from the dead, then you know what? Everything's going to be all right. Whatever you're worried about right now, whatever you're afraid of, everything is actually going to be okay.

Because you got to remember, we're not just talking about resurrected people. Jesus Christ is - and this is where Christianity is unique - we're talking about a resurrected world! There's plenty of other religions that talk about a future afterlife, which is a non-material world. In other words, you get a consolation for the world we've lost. Christianity says it's not just. Your bodies are being resurrected, but the world is actually going to be a material world that's cleansed from all evil and suffering and sin. And if Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, then the whole world is going to be resurrected and everything is going to be okay. Everything. You don't, you don't know how, I don't know how, but it will be. So, uh, and you know what?

Actually, right now, I couldn't possibly be convinced that Jesus was not raised from the dead, either intellectually or existentially. So whenever I'm. And by the way, but Cathy and I listen, we cry. We cried a lot last night. Sometimes the reality of the shortness of what we have left here just overwhelms us. And we were just weeping together and crying. And then you say, If Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, it is going to be okay.
