Because 50 Day 15
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-3
1In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Today’s Prayer:
Jesus, help me to fully appreciate your resurrection.
Going Deeper:
In the video above, Bret challenged us all to get more confident in the field of apologetics. Apologetics is a fancy, formal word for reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, in this case our faith. How confident are you in defending your faith? What evidence exists out there to support your claims?
A few years ago our Creative Arts team at One Life created a short video to explain the response of the early followers of Jesus to the resurrection. Watch the video below.
Which of the arguments presented in the video is strongest to you? How would you explain that argument to a skeptic or an explorer?
