Christ the Lord is Risen Today
The Resurrection, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1635
On this beautiful day when Christians celebrate the resurrection of their Savior, I’d like to recommend you take a moment and enjoy the wonderful works of art that have been created commemorating this event.
I recently heard a woman on the radio chastising Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias for believing in something like the resurrection when the four gospel accounts were so contradictory. The apologist amply answered her protest.
For those who have similar concerns about the validity of the resurrection accounts as recorded in the four Gospels, I encourage you to read this harmony of the resurrection accounts.
Experiencing the Fullness of Time
Distortions in the shape of our time foster distortions in the shape of our lives and the quality of all of our relationships. Indeed, these distortions drive us into the arms of a false theology: we come to believe that we, not God, are the masters of time. We come to believe that our worth must be proved by the way we spend our hours and that our ultimate safety depends on our own good management.
The above quote is from the book Receiving the Day by Dorothy C. Bass. I came to this book after hearing an interview on Mars Hill Audio between Ken Myers and the author. It was quite providential that I came upon this specific interview because time-management usually is an issue for me. Part of it is my commitment to what I’m doing at the time. Of course, part of it is also just me OCD’ing and not letting “good enough” stand on its own merit. Nevertheless, this book continues to be quite a challenging read. Perhaps convicting would be a better word because I’m seeing the depth of this issue; how much it touches all areas of my life to one extent or another.
