Truth is ancient; it's grey hairs may make it venerable;
it comes from Him who is the ancient of days. --Thomas Watson

Was there physical evidence for the resurrection of Christ? Or whether or not there was reason to believe the Bible is a valid truth source -- there was arguing about what is true. These days people seem to be asking, what's real? What's powerful in my life? What will work? I am so convinced of the biblical truth of Christianity, and convinced of its power, that when people feel its power, they will eventually be convinced of its truth. So, I really don't spend any sleepless nights wondering if someone powerfully touched by Jesus Christ is going to wind up with their head on straight about the absolute truths associated with it. I believe they will. Twenty-five years ago or so -- in that era, when Easter came around. . . people came [to church] and said, "Do you expect me to believe that a 33-year-old carpenter who was killed came back to life? Persuade me. Convince me. Show me your evidence." And if I delivered on that, hundreds of people were affected enough to continue to investigate Christianity. Now people come on Easter Sunday and they're hoping against hope that something will touch them deeply, and they're wide open to whatever it is.
