Why Church? Why Jesus?

For thousands of years, people have gathered on Easter Sunday to proclaim a central and powerful truth. They’ve not gathered to say, “The Stock Market has risen” or “The dollar has risen”. They haven’t come together to say “the Housing Market has risen”, or “the value of my 401 K has risen.” The one hope that has held people and cultures and countries together all over the world in the face of poverty, disease, pain, hardship, even death itself is this: Christ is risen!!
