Power of the Resurrection

On one Easter Day in London, D. Torrey brought a street sermon in front of a huge crowd of people.  

A man from the audience interrupted the passionate speaker by asking the question: “How do you know that Christ really rose from the dead?”

Just as Torrey wanted to answer the question, a stranger stepped forward and called with a loud voice: “I am a machinist and observe the steam power.  How do I know what kind of pressure the stream produces?  I don’t even see the stream.  But I see how strong the power is on the pressure gauge by a little pointer that moves correspondingly.  Now I once was a drunkard, a hopeless slave to alcohol.  And the power of Christ was strong enough to pull me out of the pit and change my entire life.  By this I know from personal experience that Christ rose from the dead.”

This simple testimony of the machinist accomplished more than many a convincing argument.  The Risen Savior reveals Himself personally to those who believe in Him.  Whoever seeks salvation by Him will experience this personally.
