The resurrection is everything. Paul put it this way, “if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” After all, if a man who claimed to be God, received worship as if he were God, forgave sins claiming he had the authority of God, claimed that he would die and three days later be raised from the dead, and claimed that he was the only way to God, actually supernaturally rose from the dead, wouldn’t that give credibility to everything he said and claimed? Indeed it would.

Criminal Justice
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:23:52 — 77.1MB) | Embed
The Twilight Zone can be a cruel adjudicator doling out ironic punishments to characters whose desires ultimately become their undoing. Greed, short-sightedness, and the notion that “heaven” and “prosperity” aren’t what they seem are the focus this month, and the characters in these stories find themselves on the receiving end of the most poetic kind of criminal justice.
