Wooden Altarpiece of Jesus and the eleven apostles carved by Tilman Riemenschneider (1460-1531)
"Let us all thank God that we have such a cloud of witnesses to prove that our Lord rose again. ... The resurrection of Christ is a miracle that no infidel can explain away. Men may carp and cavil at Balaam's ass, and Jonah in the whale's belly, if they please, but till they can prove that Christ did not rise again we need not be moved. ... As the grave could not detain the Head, so it shall not detain the members. Well may we say with Peter, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." (Peter 1:3)" -JC Ryle
When one truly trusts in the risen Lord, and his heart and mind recognize and confidently proclaim this trust, what must such a one's life look like?
