“I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it
to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead,
then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one
was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured
that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the
world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12
apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.” Charles W. Colson
Charles W. Colson served in the Nixon Administration as Special
Counsel and cam to be known as Nixon's "Hatchet Man" for his actions
during the Watergate scandal. He
eventually served seven months in federal prison for Watergate related charges. Colson became a Christian in 1973 and one of
itsmost influential thought leaders.
