Episode notes

Easter was something you guys did. You were raised with it and kind of part and parcel of your lives. It wasn't for me. I wanted to frame it because when we talk about this and sometimes when we talks about scriptures, we go into academic mode or teachers in a very real mood. And that's the privilege we have to talk about the fact that he died. He was buried and he rose again. There's nothing better. We have got to make Easter in our minds and hearts at what it really is bigger than Christmas.

Which is the greatest of all miracles? Dr. Ross Baron examines the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, making all other miracles probable.
