And I put it intentionally like that.
Because so often today, again, we can have this faith-knowledge dichotomy.
And what we would want to argue in contradistinction to that is saying, no, actually the only way to make sense of reason and evidence is through the resurrection of Christ and the worldview that underwrites it.
And I think of a scene I'm reading right now to my middle daughter at night, the Chronicles of Narnia.
And we're in the line, the witch in the wardrobe.
And she just is absolutely enthralled by these stories.
And I got to this scene the other night, read it many times before, when Lucy's been to Narnia, Edmund has been and lied about it, and so they go to see the professor in whose home they are staying.
And Peter's the spokesman and says, well, professor, it seems like she's crazy.
She's got these mad ideas about going to another realm through a wardrobe.
And I love this scene.
Quote, logic, said the professor half to himself.
Why don't they teach logic at these schools?
There are only three possibilities.
Either your sister is telling lies or she is mad or she is telling the truth.
You know she doesn't lie and it is obvious that she is not mad.
So there's only one explanation left.
And that's what we can say when it comes to the resurrection of Christ.
It's when you look at all the options before us,
and you look at all the evidence that needs to be explained, and you look at what we find today with Christianity as a worldwide presence, and you eliminate every other false option, the only one that remains, my friends, is that it actually happened.
And that will change us.
