*Question raised on a “Christmas” website!
Unprovable!? How can Jesus be unprovable? Over 500 people saw him
alive and many were still alive when Paul wrote this in 1 Corinthians 15:6. His
resurrection was proved then, and a 2000-year gap doesn't disprove it or make
it necessary to prove it again.
But for the convinced Christian, there is
better proof. The Bible says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psa.34:8)
A child learning to bicycle knows exactly
when she “has it”. So does a new swimmer when he changes from sinking to
successfully staying up and breathing. We sometimes call this an “epiphany”. The new cyclist may need to learn other types
of bicycles and even motorcycles. The swimmer needs to learn new strokes and
different conditions of water, such as a pool or open sea.
It is
the same with becoming a Christian---what we know within us confirms that we
are in the right place. We don't get all the answers. The new Christian “just”
needs to learn more of Jesus. But the initial step has been taken—Christ is
proved— and there is no going back.
