On the Road to Damascus William Blencoe

Rumour has it that Jesus survived the cross and lived on. Some even say that he went on to live a normal life... that is to marry and have children. One of the most intriguing questions is what happened to his body. It left the tomb and was resurrected... it rose to heaven along with the spirit of Christ to join the creator has been the explanation for over two thousand years.

But aren't the body and soul separate? Isn't our spiritual existence different than our physical being? What use would a rotting mass of flesh be the risen Christ? Very little some may say. And for God's sake how did a ten stone mass of flesh disappear into oblivion.

We have all studied science at school... so, could this really have happened? Remember, it was God who set the ground rules for creation in the first place... the almost unchallengeable laws of physics and mathematics, which seem to govern the universe and all of creation and have done since the beginning of time trillions of years ago. So why only two thousand years ago did the Creator alter theses ground rules?

It was a miracle some may say. They may be right, who knows, none of us living today were there were we? Perhaps, there was another explanation equally as miraculous... yes, perhaps the Lord Jesus did survive the cross and live on to spread the word.
