Reasonably speaking, we can see the cross as entirely possible. But in considering Easter, we see an empty tomb as entirely impossible. And is it possible that God had to do the impossible to finally get our attention?

About This Quote

The idea that an otherwise completely impossible thing so completely happened in real life is difficult for us to wrap our minds around. After all, the fact that a man came back from the dead is so unlikely as to be impossible, but it is as possible as the resurrection of Jesus. The fact that God as a being of existence would have done something so wonderful and miraculous as to raise his son from the dead is not only possible, but more likely than not.
