First of all, why is this world such a mess? If the resurrection is supposed to solve the world's problems, why are we still dealing with pain, problems, and death? And what about my personal hopes? Will they be lost when I die and find myself in heaven? Will my relationships be broken forever? And what about heaven? Based on what you've heard about it, maybe you're not really too excited to go there. Is it really like the popular pictures and descriptions of that place? Will I really be myself in heaven, or will I be absorbed into God and lose my conscious self? And the really big questions: How can I be sure that all of this is true? How can I know for sure that the resurrection really happened? How can I know that this isn't just another pipe dream?
