Nitoy Gonzales’s Reviews > The If That Changes Everything: What If You Could Believe That Jesus Rose from the Dead? > Status Update

"If Jesus is dead and buried somewhere, Christianity is a dangerous delusion. But if Jesus is actually alive, he’s so much more than a motivational story."

"It may seem as if political power and brute force rule the world, but ultimately Jesus will have the final word. If Jesus rose, then justice will triumph. If Jesus is in charge of the eternal future, no one will be forgotten and nothing will be swept under the carpet: every wrong will be put right."

"If Jesus rose from the dead, then he really was who he said he was: our Creator, who became a flesh-and-blood human being to introduce himself to us and renew us from the inside out. If Jesus rose from the dead, it means we are not just atoms or accidents; we are known completely and loved immensely, and we are being invited to live a life of deep purpose and meaning that nothing can ever take away."

“Everybody dies.” It’s the most basic fact of human existence, something we all have in common. Yet it’s also something we don’t like to talk about. Mostly we try not to even think about it."
