Common questions about Jesus' resurrection

/

If you do not follow Jesus and want to begin to explore the life and claims of this man (and you should) start with his resurrection.

“In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that - and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison - you do not know God at all. As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.
