Although we talk about the death of Jesus often, for some reason we have tended to only mention the resurrection at Easter time. Christians sometimes even say Jesus died to save us without mentioning that he also rose for our salvation. It\u2019s time to redress the balance a bit and talk more about Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection.<\/p>\n

For Christians all over the world, every Sunday is Resurrection Sunday. We meet each week, among other things, in order to celebrate the glorious, wondrous fact that Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus\u2019 resurrection really did change everything. It changed the cross from a tragedy into a triumph, and it changed the Roman Empire into a Christian state. This was the most powerful divine event in the history of creation, and it ushered in a new age of the Holy Spirit\u2019s activity and power in saving and transforming lives.<\/p>\n

When considering if Christianity is true, it all boils down to whether Jesus rose from the dead.<\/p>\n

Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience sustain us over a lifetime of change.

My perspective has also been shaped by chronic illness since 2017, when I developed life-threatening pneumonia that caused lasting damage to my body, triggered several further conditions, and uncovered a diagnosis of blood cancer.
