It’s
almost Easter. Christians all over the world are proclaiming that Jesus is
risen. But how can we be convinced about an event which took place 2,000 years
ago? And how can we expect to make major behaviour modifications based on a
human impossibility? Coming back to life after three full days? It
seems impossible.
A remarkable
attack against the Christian faith was contemplated by a young British lawyer
named Frank Morison in the 1930's. He was convinced that the Resurrection was a
mere fairy tale. Sensing that it was the central point of the Christian faith,
he decided to do the world a favor by once and for all exposing it as a fraud
and superstition.
As a lawyer, he
began to rigidly sift the evidence and admitted nothing as evidence which did
not meet the criteria for a law court today.
However, while
Morison was doing his research, a remarkable thing happened. The case was
not nearly as easy as he had supposed.
Frank Morison
found that the evidence for the Resurrection was so overwhelming he was forced
to accept it. He became a believer.
The book he
ended up writing is called "Who Moved the Stone?". It sets forth the
evidence for the resurrection of Christ, and its first chapter is called, "The
Book that Refused to be Written."
