Emphasis Preaching Journal

Two young men were making fun of the Christian idea of resurrection from the dead, saying that it was impossible for them to believe that Jesus rose after the crucifixion. A minister at a church down the street from where they lived passed by as they were talking. One of the men called out and in sarcasm asked, "Say, Preacher, tell us why you believe that Jesus rose from the dead!"

His reply: "Well, one reason is that I was talking with him for about a half an hour just a little while ago."

One of the proofs of his resurrection is his presence in our lives.
