"Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"

On Delchev's sarcophagus you can read the following inscription: "We swear the future generations to bury these sacred bones in the capital of Independent Macedonia. August 1923 Illinden"
Christ indeed has risen. But why is this important?
Its important because there is a God that created everything and He did so with a specific plan. People are a special part of that creation and we alone were given a moral law to live by - a law that accords with God's nature. However, we were also given a free will and have the ability to choose whether we abide by that moral law or not.
Because there is a law, there is also a punishment for disobeying the law. This is called justice. And the punishment is eternity in hell. But the good news is this - God actually loves us and He doesn't want us to spend an eternity in hell, so He has taken the punishment for our sins (our disobedience of the law) on our behalf. He did this on the cross and then He rose again to demonstrate that He is God and what He says is true.
By repenting (of your disobedience) and putting your faith in Jesus, your sins against His moral law are forgiven because He has already paid your penalty in full. Instead of spending an eternity in hell, you spend an eternity with Him. But if you reject Him, then you're not covered by his insurance policy, so to speak, and you pay your own penalty because justice demands that sins are punished.
Its you're choice and it doesn't get easier than this.
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. John Adams
