Watch todays Daily Reflection above
In today’s Daily Reflection we explore how the ripple effect of Jesus’ resurrection transformed fearful disciples into fearless leaders, sparking a movement that continues to shape the world 2,000 years later.
"Why did Christianity explode out of Jerusalem? Why have the ripples continued to spread through 2000 years and to every corner of the globe? Something happened. What was it?
"People have come up with various theories, but I think none as compelling as what the Bible says happened. That really would explain it, because the Bible reports that over a period of 40 days following that first Easter Sunday, the resurrected Jesus appeared to hundreds of people who were so utterly persuaded that he had risen from the dead that they lived, and many of them died, insisting it was true.
"The shockwaves of that claim have reshaped the world, and many still feel their force today."
