Many people today question the Christian faith. The Easter story IS hard to believe. Common sense tells us dead people don’t rise again. Yet billions of Christians, throughout the world, for over 2,000 years, believe Jesus did just this. Thousands of Christian saints and martyrs in every age have died refusing to deny this faith.
Doubts are natural and can arise at any time. But being honest about them, talking about them with others, deepens our faith. ‘Certainty can be blinding. Embrace your doubts—they’re your compass in a world where arrogance often drowns out wisdom. Remember, questioning is your superpower; it fuels growth and keeps your mind open.’ (Bertrand Russell)
'We decide what we think we know' he said. From such evidence as we have. In the absence of more evidence we can do no other. But we must be humble...' (Kate Grenville, A Room Made of Leaves)
It takes humility to accept we won’t get to the bottom of the mystery of God, of life itself…but it is realistic!
