How could I resist?Today is “April Fool’s” day.Yet, here we are worshiping God.Many in the world would call us “foolish” for believing in God.Some would say, that believing in a deity who gave himself up for His people is foolish.
In fact, many skeptics of the Bible point to a number of world religions in which a deity dies and then comes back to life.Egypt had Osiris, for instance.Others point to the struggles of deities like the Hindu god, Vishnu – part man, part deity.Yet a significant difference exists between these so called deities and Jesus.
Generally speaking across the board, ancient deities suffered certain fates in their battles against other deities.They fought for control of the cosmos or some part of it.This is not the case for Christ.
