Easter week. The empty tomb

What is it that defines Christianity from all the other religions and false hopes of the world? Simple.

An EMPTY TOMB.

Somewhere on earth the bones of Buddha are turning to dust; the tomb of Mahomet is in Mecca and Confucius has disappeared into the sands of the Gobi Desert but in Jerusalem there is an empty tomb.
Hallelujah.
The Victorians had their sceptics. Two belonged to the same gentleman's club. One was Lord Lyttleton and the other Stanley Gilbert. Both set themselves a task; Gilbert to disprove the Resurrection of Christ; Lyttleton to prove that Paul's conversion was bogus. After six months they met to discuss their findings.

Gilbert immediately confessed that he had come to believe in the gospel account of the resurrection. Lyttleton himself declared that he believed that St Paul had genuinely met Christ on the Damascus Road.

Both became committed Christians.

The narrative of Easter DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.

I challenge you this year, at the end of this series, to do your own research. Guaranteed, the evidence will deliver it's own verdict.

Jubilate.
