Blaise Pascal, supposedly, stated that all he knew was that we would die soon. Indeed nothing in human life is ascertain as death. However, death is not an end in itself (John 3:16). There is a resurrection. Some people claim that the concept of a resurrection is clearly unacceptable and unbelievable. At the same time they believe so many other things and trust so many persons–the pharmacist, the bus driver, the newspaper, and the TV. Why should we not trust Scripture? Others claim that nobody ever came back from the dead. It seems Jesus did. Again some say that they believe only what they can see. Yet we do not see electricity, radiation, and electromagnetic waves. The question whether or not there is a resurrection of the dead is a matter of faith, not science. The proposal that there is no resurrection must be believed as much as the statement that there is a resurrection. Therefore, we listen to God’s Word.
