Easter is a time for bunny stories. I have one.

A woman happened to be looking out of the window of her home one day. She was horrified to see her German shepherd shaking the life out of the neighbor’s rabbit. Her family had been quarreling with these neighbors; this was certainly going to make matters worse. She grabbed a broom and ran outside, pummeling the pooch until he dropped a rabbit now covered with dog spit—and extremely dead.

After a moment’s consideration, the woman lifted the rabbit with the end of the broom and brought it into the house. She dumped its lifeless body into the bathtub and turned on the shower. When the water running off the rabbit was clean, she rolled him over and rinsed the other side.

Now she had a plan. She found her hairdryer and blew the rabbit dry. Using an old comb, she groomed the rabbit until he looked pretty good. Then, when the neighbor wasn’t looking, she hopped over the fence, snuck across the backyard, and propped him up in his cage. No way she was taking the blame for this thing.

About an hour later, she heard screams coming form the neighbor’s yard. She ran outside, pretending she didn’t know what was going on.

What happened?

She asked innocently. Her neighbor came running to the fence. All the blood had drained from her face.

Our rabbit, our rabbit!

She blubbered.

He died two weeks ago, we buried him—and now he’s back!

Message

There are some who maintain that the resurrection of Jesus Christ – from stone cold death to hot-blooded life – is a trumped up myth. Little more than a fluffed up urban legend, a hoax.

But there are many evidences for the resurrection of Jesus. Besides the Bible, which says Jesus was seen by more than 500 people (1 Corinthians 15:3-8), there are non-biblical historians who also document this.
