Jason Grundy is possibly the most amazing guy ever.
For a preacher man i mean. lol
So basically, I always get something out of his talks but dang.
Tonight was crazy.
Jason started telling us high school kids about something that has been on breaking news. Apparently what is belived to be remains of Jesus’ bones in an ancient casket.
the following was taken from http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23386857-details/I’ve+found+the+coffin+of+Jesus,+says+film+director/article.do
The very fact that Jesus had a grave would contradict the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
Thus the rason for Easter...
One of the caskets even bears the title, ’Judah, son of Jesus,’ which Cameron claims as evidence that Jesus may have had a son. Another coffin was said to hold the bones of Mary Magdalene, also known as ’Mariamne’.
Of the ten ossuaries found, six were inscribed with the names of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and Mary Magdalene, as well as Judah, Son of Jesus, and a Matthew, of which there were many in Mary’s family, according to Luke 3:23.
At hearing this, seeing pictures of evidence I slowly thought about what this would mean if indeed it was true.
Normally I’d totally disregard it, just like the findings of ’Noahs ark’ every 10 years.
But, Thing is I trust Jason with telling me the truth straight out.
I mean this is insane. What if Jesus really did die? That means that half the things we as Christians believe in are false. What are we supposed to do?
As Jason explained that the Roman Catholic Church that has the wrappings of Jesus what are now called the Shroud of Turin which has a few drops of blood from the cuts on his head from the crown of thorns. DANG.
To make matters worse Jason told us that the Catholic Church had agreed to let scientsts test the DNA on one of the drops of blood.
and it had a 97.7% similarty to the bones that were found.
Do you see how CRAZY INSANE this is???
Would I believe it? Would this scientific find change my faith?
Just as I got pretty worried.
Then our dear, dear youth pastor went to the next slide.
’PRE-APRIL FOOLS PRANK’
"He is truly Risen" Grundy said with a smile on his face.
As my mouth opened slightly in disbelief, Mr.Grundy confessed that he had made up the last part.
DANG!
Apparently he had seen this story on the news or something and got it into his head that it would be really an awakening expeirence if he fibbed about some of it. Really question our faith.
You know, make us unaware youngins really happy that we are CELEBRATING easter.
The hunting for eggs tradition is actually inspired by Christians.
A long time ago people would hide egg shells full of small treasures to remind us that Jesus’ absence from the tomb really is a treasure. Christ rising from the dead is not only amazing but true.
Do we need to resurrect stuff in our lives?
Hope? Joy? Faith? Relationships? Loyalty?
Happy Resurrection day!
