Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Happy Easter! Today we celebrate the resurrection of the most important historical figure of all time. Say way you may about Jesus of Nazareth, there can be little doubt that he changed the course of history. I had never really considered this before, but as was pointed out by the pastor at my parents' church today, Jesus Christ is so important that every major religion has to take a stance on who he was. There is no other person who has walked this earth who has elicited the need for all religions to address who they were. Now the question is, who was Christ? It's a quote that is used so often, but to paraphrase C. S. Lewis, either Jesus was crazy, evil or he was who he said he was. Jesus left us no other option. Who was he? It is of critical importance that every person consider this, because it could have eternal consequences.
