I have often asked myself, "In 2000 years from now will others believe I was a real person, will they believe everything written by me or about me?" I then have asked myself, what reason do I have not to believe Peter, James, John, Paul, Mary and others that this Jesus really walked and talked and did what they said. What reason will people ever have to believe I lived more than Jesus. Logic tells me Jesus lived, just as logic will testify I lived. Logic also tells me the men and woman who walked and talked with him are real and I have no logical reason not to believe what they said. Therefore, I believe He died, and that He lives today, just as Mary said. I believe she saw Him crucified and witnessed Him rise from the dead 3 days later. I have no reason to doubt Mary and her witness anymore than people will have to doubt that I lived, 2000 years from now. The feeling of love is not tangible, it cannot be put in a bottle for display, but it is real. Like love, I feel something real when I talk of Christ. I know He lives. I know He is the Way. As I have tried to follow Him, to embrace His teachings, His lifestyle, I have felt great joy. I feel something touch my soul as I write of Him . I love Him. He is my light and my inspiration.
