The Greatest Turnaround In the History of Humanity! (Happy Easter)

If you are looking for hope then read on ...

If you feel your situation right now is very hopeless then read on ..

BTW, Happy Easter !! : ) Easter is the greatest symbol of hope that I am aware of!

About 2000 years, a guy named Jesus started Christianity. His movement for barely 3-4 years old, when he was unjustly arrested and crucified! And Jesus was given an extremely horrible death  ... Isaiah 57 says: "His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness" ...

The disciples of Jesus who witnessed all this, must have been utterly shaken & shattered to the core and must have thought the "Jesus  movement", which was barely 3-4 years old, is all over ... Things surely looked completely hopeless at that point ...

But, then came the biggest turnaround in the history of humanity ... Jesus rose from the dead in three days (http://www.leaderu.com/everystudent/easter/articles/josh2.html)!! And 2000 years from then, today, ~2 billion people (1 out 3 people in this planet) claim to be Christian!!
Isn't this the biggest turnaround in the history in humanity?!

This is why I am always in so much awe of our GOD ... history shows how GOD can turnaround and bring back to life situations that may look so bad, so dead, so hopeless ...

And, all this makes Easter - the ultimate symbol of hope - So, HAPPY EASTER TO YA'LL!!



Can a dead man rise from grave?

Can a dead man rise from grave?

YES!! : ) Happy Easter!!

Well, you may think it is superstition, unscientific, bla bla ...
But I believe, if you are open minded, it can all seem scientific/logical/etc.

These are some good articles to start with, to understand how a dead man (Jesus ~2000 yrs ago) could have came back to life:-
