Today is Good Friday, and while maybe less than half the world (the current world population is somewhere around 6.7 BILLION people) will stop for a few minutes at some point today to consider the fact that Jesus suffered a brutal beating & death as a punishment for sins that He didn't commit, maybe a little more than half the world will carry on having never heard this fact, not knowing what difference it makes, or even worse... thinking that somehow Jesus pulled a Houdini act & escaped; making him an incredible con-artist, but a horrible Savior.
They think this man, whom they would call a good teacher & moral person, eventually pulled off the biggest hoax the planet has ever seen & tricked his closest friends into believing a lie & eventually giving up their own lives because they would not recant their faith in a Jesus who died on the cross as the punishment for our sins & rose again to conquer death & offer us new, abundant & eternal life.

It's Good Friday... do you think Jesus really died?
