I am writing in response to the article in Faith Matters written by Liza Knapp. I would like to direct her to the true biblical account of many eyewitnesses that prove that Jesus is very much alive and well, that he rose from the dead.
And as St. Paul rightly said, “If Christ is not risen, then our faith is in vain.”
If you want Jesus, all you have to do is ask him to save you from your sins. Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. And confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. Then you’ll know that Jesus is very much alive. Jesus promises to return for his church one fine day. And that’s the day we believers in him will receive our resurrection bodies.
He also warns us that “Not everyone who calls me Lord shall enter into the kingdom of God.” Easter is all about the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus. Nothing more, nothing less.
The reality of Jesus Christ’s resurrection is not a “hypothesis,” it is a fact.
