Some friends and I were playing the game of name a person who had influenced us, but one of the rules is that the person had to be a "dead person."
Apparently the person's connection to you did not have to be readily obvious--for example one friend used Cleopatra. Another used Henry Ford because she just got a new car. But then one of my friends said Jesus influenced her most. My immediate response was "Jesus isn't dead."
That comment led to an interesting dinner-time conversation during which I was reminded that as Christians we are indeed people of the resurrection. We believe in a risen Christ. He is alive.
My hope and prayer for you as you observe this holiest of weeks on our Christian calendar is that you willl encounter the living Christ!
Blessings on you.
