Easter: The pictures and proofs of the Resurrection



Today, Jonah and the Great fish.

Jesus said that the fish, representing death and Jonah representing Himself, was the only sign that He would give of His resurrection.

Let me assure you that nobody who has been trapped in the belly of the fish and has been delivered from their darkness and despair, ever makes jokes about Jonah. If  a person is being digested by fish juice it is not a multiple choice. It is Jesus or nothing.

Easter is the story of the darkness of the cross, the depths of hell and the glorious sunshine of deliverance all within the space of three days.

No wonder Christians have something to celebrate next week.
