God, Google and the Resurrection

Here is a great talk given by Tim Keller, at Google, on the topic of "The Reason for God." He has a new book out and somehow on his book tour he winds up at Google giving a great defense for the belief in God for a skeptical age. It's a really helpful lecture to learn from and the Q and A time is worth the wait. The very last question even allows Tim to talk about the Resurrection.



As I have been reading the scriptures on the Resurrection and considering the last question Tim gets (you'll have to watch) I realize that those who are skeptical that this ever happened think people in the 1st and 2nd century were morons. They didn't know how the world worked and they were gullible saps. Look at this beauty.

This is a fully functioning aqueduct. They built
this thing. Romans were not moron but knew
how to design and understood the natural world.
When Jesus wants the stone rolled away at Lazarus's tomb they say "It's been 4 days, it's going to smell." 4 day old dead people just don't get up and start walking around on their own. A resurrected person, a person who was crucified and buried and now is walking around three days later is either something to be laughed at by them or marveled by.

Have a glorious Easter and praise God for him revealing his Glory in the resurrected Christ.
