JESUS IS ALIVE.
Saint Paul tells us that if Christ has not risen, our faith is in vain.
The entire Christian faith is based on this historical fact, however unlikely it may seem. If Christ is dead and his body has rotted, who do we follow? Who do we pray to? Have we been living and believing a lie for more than 2,000 years? Did the apostles get themselves killed and suffer so much to maintain a lie that they had seen him resurrected? Did the martyrs of the first three centuries of Christianity prefer death to maintain the lie that Jesus had risen? A RESOUNDING NO. No one allows themselves to be killed to maintain a lie. There are hundreds of testimonies that assure us that Christ rose again. The tomb was found empty; no one knew how the body disappeared; the tomb was under guard. How did the body disappear? It is unknown; Jesus’ bones were never found. Something that makes us wonder: who follows a dead person? Millions of Catholics follow Christ because he is alive, because it is our faith, but not a blind faith, no, a faith that reasons by the same promise of Jesus Christ, that he would rise on the third day, and so he did. He didn’t lie. He is alive and is still with us, among us.
Happy Easter Sunday. Happy Easter!
