The Risen Christ: The Solution to the World’s Problems
by Mike Robinson
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed |
Selected flanks of the Western world do not
appear passionate about defending the Resurrection of Christ. You might think
that these times of trouble and terrorism would signal to world how valuable He
is as the Prince of Peace, the only one with enough power and love to convert
terrorists to a love-based worldview. But instead, conservative politicians
have played cautiously and allowed progressives to win the culture wars and
most of the partisan battles. Misplaying ISIS makes it official. Radical Islam
indirectly aligning with progressives is now the talk. The dark calamitous
Islamic world is both the goal of Christian outreach present and the future,
and the choice has become so obvious it must be apparent even to
seeker-friendly churches.
Radical Islam is pouring destruction and
death across the Middle East with no religion confronting it and converting its
adherents to peace.
And yet the Resurrection still came to pass. The
power and might of Resurrection truth can make a huge impact in the Middle East,
but it must be applied under God’s terms. It’s hard to imagine at least one popular
false prophet, Muhammad, Islam’s biggest name, disappearing into the dustbin of
history—and there are plenty of crummy false prophets in history. But who
knows? It might be hard to imagine. Nonetheless, who follows Zeus or Apollo
today?
Atlas and Hermes gone one day, and Muhammad
the next?
It may not be the situation that you
imagined.
Yet who, but God, would have thought that 11
disciples would one day result in 2.5 billion people who profess Christ as
Lord. It took a stunning Resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit to
change the world. But the world did change and it changed radically because
Jesus is risen.
