Eventually, Everyone Cares
“…but they had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.” (Acts 25:19)
Acts 25:19 is one of those understated gems hidden in the New Testament. During Paul’s trials, the conclusion the Romans came to was that Paul just had some “points of disagreement” over “religion” and whether or not Jesus was dead. What the world sees as trivial, Christians view as monumental.
If Jesus is dead, we are the most pitiable of creatures… but if that tomb is empty, it changes everything. If His tomb is empty, ours will be, too.
The world doesn’t get it. It’s all religion, spiritual talk, and philosophy to them. Don’t be discouraged – it’s all theory until we die, and then everyone cares about the empty tomb.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
