THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE A
Christian missionary was being challenged by a very sincere Mohammedan inquirer. He insisted, “You know, when we Mohammedans go to Mecca, at least we can find the coffin of Mohammed, our great prophet. But when you Christians visit Palestine, all you find is an empty grave.” The missionary, not at all disturbed by this pointed argument, merely suggested: “That is just the difference. Mohammed is dead and still in his casket. All other religious leaders are dead; but Jesus Christ, whose kingdom includes all nations and all races of different colors, is not in a Palestinian grave. He is risen from the dead and lives and rules forever.” It was this faith that filled the early disciples. From Illustrations for Preaching by Benjamin Browne
