When Jesus rose from the dead, his humanity didn't dissolve. He didn't go back to a state where he was no longer human.
The stories of his Resurrection appearances to the disciples make it clear that Jesus continued on as one of us.
Jesus is truly the Son of God. But he is "God made flesh." In his humanity, Jesus is still like us. He is the mediator between heaven and earth, between human beings and God.
This has great implications for your prayer.
When you pray to the Lord, you're not just going through the motions. There is a real conversation going on. Jesus is your brother, and you can talk to him as one of the family.
You might just discover how easy it is to pray.
