Not Done in a Corner

“Jesus was not murdered in private by thugs, only to come back from the dead in secret, with a select band of followers being told to whisper the news to another handful. ”Pssst! Pass it on.’ No, He was executed publicly by the authorities, and He rose from the dead in such a way as to declare His absolute authority over all the kingdoms of men, and over everything that they contain” (Heaven Misplaced, p. 52).
