He Is Risen!
Today is definitely resurrection Sunday and it honestly makes my heart sing to realize that our Saviour finished his work on earth when he rose from the dead and saved us from sin for all time!However, it gets me to thinking, like it was said in church this morning that the entire Christian faith rises and falls on the thruth of the resurrection of Christ.
The part that got me thinkning was the way that we often present ourselves to the world is as an option; basically a group of people saying "Why not us?" in the religious realm. If it comes down to the fact that I believe in a faith that rests on the returning of a perfect man from the grave, then why do I believe in it?
Seriously, I asked myself today, "Why am I not a Buddhist, a humanist, a New Ager or even a Scientologist?" I have often thought that if I didn't believe in Christ that the first faith that I would default to would be humanism because I can still believe in right and wrong, don't have to follow it all the time and it makes sense in a logical way.
Now, I'm not saying that I have lost my faith or anything, but out of curiosity...
What made you decide to follow Christ?
I'm not looking for a "serious", "theological" discussion, but just simply an idea of why people chose Christ among all the other options out there. It can be an encouragement to the community of believers when we sit back and realize just what God has done for us. I know that every Christian out there has a story or one thing that "clinched" it for them and I'd like to hear about it!
So "hop" to it...
