No Resurrection?

“But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen.”
 (I Corinthians 15:13)

I have in my possession a copy of “The Jefferson Bible.” It is a mixture of the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The unique thing of this “Bible” is that it leaves out all the miracles of Jesus. This is how Jefferson’s “Bible” ends: “Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man laid. There laid they Jesus, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.”

How sad that such a revered man as Jefferson would disbelieve the greatest event that ever happened in the history of mankind.

Let us shout it from the house-tops: “He is alive! He is alive! He is alive!”
