“If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.” (1 Cor. 15:19)

How many Christians are there who could say, ‘The suffering I have freely chosen to embrace for Christ would be a pitiable life if there is no resurrection’? As I see it, these are shocking questions.”
