It Still Matters

Often things seem less important as time passes. People don't pay much attention or thought to medieval history or what happened in the Stone Age. Its not relevant to us because life has changed, life has moved on, we now live in a different era. I remember street preaching with a couple from Manchester when a man shouted out 'Dinosaurs.' He mirrored the thoughts of many, that Christianity is outdated and relegated to history and doesn't- shouldn't matter in the modern world. The truth is Christianity can never be irrelevant because it answers many of mankinds basic questions. The most important question is what happens when we die? To answer that question I could go on to You Tube and watch all the near life/after life videos for an answer. Or I could purchase or read the myriad of books available on the subject from Amazon, there are thousands! However I prefer to go to the God Man our Lord Jesus Christ for the answer. Why? Because he died and came back from the dead and still lives! This is the foundational belief of Christianity. We have to recieve that fact by faith because were weren't there when it happened. We have to accept the accounts of the few hundred that were privileged to see him, touch him and speak with him after his resurrection. However it isn't a blind faith because thousands are receiving him as their personal Lord and Saviour every day. They are testifying to healings and answered prayer requests in his name and the perfect peace that passes all human understanding. So it still matters, knowing Christ is as relevant today as it was over two thousand years ago. The old adage 'It's not what you know but who you know' works here. It's not so important to know what happens after death as to know the person who conquered death and has the power over it, that person is truly worth knowing.
