The timing of April Fool's Day this year, (just one day after the Resurrection), makes an interesting conversation starter. Can you imagine how difficult it was for the original disciples to:a. Believe that Jesus had been raised from the dead?
b. Tell others about it!
They would have seemed like crazy fools.
And yet, here we are - 2000 years later, still talking about the miracle of the Resurrection. If it had been a silly joke, it wouldn't have gained any traction, and the idea of the Resurrection would have soon faded from memory. However, the reality of this miracle continued to gather momentum amongst the disciples and as soon as Jesus appeared to them, they no longer felt so foolish.
Thought: There are people that still think we are foolish to believe in Jesus and the Resurrection. I am content to be considered a fool.
Psalm 2:1 - "What fools the nations are to rage against the Lord! How strange that men should try to outwit God!"
