Reasons Not to Believe in the Resurrection of Christ
Nearly every year, around Easter time, the resurrection comes under intense scrutiny. Year after year, aggressive atheists and agnostics produce anti-Christian literature, movies, or documentaries to spread their ideas. Often, these alternative explanations are proposed by critics who have not given careful consideration to their theories or they willfully ignore important evidence. On the other hand, I want you to understand that we have a good basis for our belief in the resurrection. Today, I want to share with you three of six explanations that have been offered over the years for the empty tomb and resurrection of Christ.

The Eighth Commandment (Exodus 20:15)
God's prohibition of stealing covers a great variety of sins, from robbery and burglary to embezzlement (including how we spend our time at work), fraud, enslavement, and robbing God. There is stealing in each of our hearts, and the root of it is our failure to trust in God's provision, and in our covetousness. In Christ, who died between two thieves, we find provision for forgiveness, and power to work faithfully for our provision and so that we may give to others.
