Easter
Back in the 1880's Nietzsche declared
that "God is dead," and before the turn of the Twentieth Century, Shaw
and Wells chimed in saying the 20th Century would mark the end of the world's
"religious phase."
Yet, today a church now meets in Russia's
Museum of Religion and Atheism-the former center of atheism. Nearly half
of the United States' population attend Worship on a regular basis while
revival is sweeping through Latin America and Christianity grows behind
China's iron curtain.
Nietzsche, Shaw and Wells have long since
decayed in their graves, and God continues to live! That's the message
of Easter. He is risen. He is risen, indeed!
Muhammad died, and was buried. His faithful
followers take pilgrimages to visit his remains, the same is true of Buddha
and other religious leaders. But it is not true of Jesus. You cannot visit
His remains, you can only visit His empty grave, because He isn't there.
He Arose!
That's why we celebrate Easter!
