Easter Is Never Over
Easter—Easter Sunday (between March 22 and April 25, inclusive) I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. Revelation 1:18 Whether it is a literal, physical resurrection from the dead, or a spiritual resurrection from being “dead in your transgressions and sins” (Ephesians 2:1), the Christian faith is about one supreme thing: resurrection! Easter is the historic and spiritual watershed event that separates Christianity from all other religions. Ours is a living faith because we follow a risen and reigning Christ. All other religions are dead religions. Either the myriad gods and goddesses of other religions are totally mythological with no historic basis in fact—only fanciful fiction—or the founders of these religions have died and rotted in the grave eons ago. Followers of non-Christian religions never expected their founders to rise from the dead. And all those religious leaders lived up to those dead expectations: 2000 BC: 1500 BC: 531 BC: 500 BC: 483 BC: 479 BC: AD 30: AD 632: AD 1539: AD 1892:
