REFLECTION

If I was going to stake my whole life on the resurrection of Christ, I didn’t want there to be any gap between the possible and the proven; I wanted proof.   I wanted letters of fire across the sky that Jesus has risen.  Then I suddenly realized, my God, there was also a gap behind me as well.  I couldn’t prove that Jesus was God, but by God I certainly couldn’t prove that he was not.  I realized I could not reject Jesus without a great step of faith.  Then I began to realize that I could not go ahead without a great step of faith.  There was only one thing to do.  Once I had seen that the gap behind me was every bit as big as the gap before me, I went across the gap towards faith in Jesus.  I put my faith in Jesus.
