If Jesus were not raised from the dead, the disciples were at best fools, and at worst, liars. What we know about the Christian life comes from the pen of men moved and guided by God to write the words we call the New Testament. The original apostles died martyrs’ deaths on the basis of their belief that the resurrection took place just as predicted, and that they saw Him alive again. If it were not true, then they were either duped, or else they fabricated the resurrection as a means to shore up the movement. But would they pay the ultimate price for a lie they had manufactured in order to have a job? Not so. Paul speaks of the absurdity of this in the following way: “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ “(1 Cor. 15:14-15).

This appeared in last week's Washington Post. It looks easy and yummy. If
anyone tries this please let me know if it's good.
In medium bowl combine shrimp, 1 Tbs. olive oil, half the minced garlic and
the salt and pepper to taste.  Light the grill. Thread the shrimp on
skewers.
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, remaining olive oil and garlic, that
basil, the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until just done.  Drain.
Grill shrimp, turning once, until just done, about 3 minutes in all.  Toss
pasta with the shrimp and tomato mixture and serve.
