Alive in more ways than one

When Christians claim that Jesus is alive just what do they mean? Firstly, they believe that he is alive with God the Father in Heaven, secondly, that he lived on in the cherished memories of those who knew him on earth -memories perpetuated in the gospels - and thirdly that he is alive through the Holy Spirit who makes him the most knowable person on the planet. Millions of perfectly rational human beings claim to know Jesus - (and not just know about him) and they find their lives tranformed through their relationship with him. He is only a prayer away!
