Dear Father,

I believe today we should all ponder the significance of Jesus’ resurrection. First, that even after He undeniably arose, the chief priests devised stories to persuade people otherwise; and second, that this envious creation of lies remains one of the reasons there exists a place in the minds of men where Your existence is continually questioned.

A while ago, I studied a material in which a philosopher, St. Thomas, in justifying Your existence, presented five notable reasons. Quite outstanding, I must admit, I smiled through every argument he made. Still, I believe we would have little or no uncertainty about You if we all truly honored the significance of His resurrection. After He resurrected, He set a clear pathway for us to follow: to know the Word, to receive the Holy Spirit, and to teach others the same. He did not fail to rebuke unbelief. In essence, every one of these directives points to something we may not always consider--He wants to be known.

In the midst of our doubts and unanswered questions, in between our scientific analyses and philosophical ideas, we may have missed something vital--the experience. Jesus laid out a path where divinity meets humanity, and an experience is birthed; one that nullifies all doubt and brings us to a place of complete surrender. The problem is not in Your mysterious nature; it is in our reluctance. We would rather ask questions than seek answers through the already established pathway after His resurrection--the truth that “God can be found.”
