Christianity rises and falls with the resurrection. If Jesus died and stayed dead, all hope is lost. If Jesus does not live Christians are misguided fools. If Jesus does not live, or if there is no God, there is a terrible price to pay. How can we know down from up? Where does one find meaning, value, moraliy, or hope. Good news. Jesus is alive. The third day he arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
