¡The resurrected King has raised us up!

in steemchurch •  7 years ago 

By rising from the dead to return to eternal power at the right hand of the Father, Jesus fulfilled a vital part of God's plan that is of fundamental importance in the life and future of all mankind. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was one of the most transcendental moments in history. Let's delve into this topic to try to fully understand what the resurrection of Jesus Christ should mean to us.

If he had not risen from the dead, then the Christian faith would have no validity, since Jesus himself declared that he would rise from the dead on the third day. On the other hand, if Jesus rose from the dead, then all his affirmations are true and now we can be sure that there is life after death.

The Roman soldiers jealously guarded the tomb where the body of Jesus was. In addition, the entrance to the tomb was sealed with a huge rock. The Roman guard, which usually consisted of 16 members, would have made it impossible for the disciples who, by the way, were cowed by the fear of losing their own lives - stealing the body. After having been beaten and flagellated, hung on a cross for six hours, pierced with a spear by his executioners to ensure his death, and wrapped, as usual, in 100 pounds of linen and spices, Jesus had not been in any condition to roll a rock of two tons uphill, nor be more agile than 16 Roman soldiers and then radiantly appear to his disciples.

The Jewish leaders of the time could easily have refuted all the assertions about the resurrection simply by replenishing the body, but they could not because there was no body.

After he rose from the dead, Jesus appeared at least ten times to those who knew him and to more than 500 people at the same time. These appearances were not hallucinations; Jesus ate and talked with his followers and they touched his resurrected body.

And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.
Luke 24: 36-39 36

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John 20: 26-29 26

For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; 5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve; 6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; 7 then he appeared to [a]James; then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-8 3

The Christian Church was born in the same city where Jesus was publicly executed and buried. The belief in a resurrected Jesus must have been authentic to have taken root in Jerusalem and grown to encompass the entire world. The Christian Church is now the largest institution that exists and has existed in the history of mankind. Clearly, this would have been impossible if the resurrection were only a story.

They abandoned and denied Jesus before his public trial; after their death they were discouraged and fearful. Yet, after their resurrection and their experience on Pentecost, these same discouraged men and women were transformed by the supernatural power of the risen Christ. In their name, they turned the world upside down. Many lost their lives because of their faith, others were terribly persecuted. His courageous behavior has no meaning apart from his conviction that Jesus Christ was truly resurrected from the dead - a worthy deed by which to die.

Jesus Christ is alive! Many have seen it, have had encounters with it, others have heard it audibly, others like me have felt its touch, it is the Rock that bases the Christian faith, glory to God
