1 THE RESURRECTION pg. 315 By all the precedents of history, by all the known laws of nature, the story of Jesus should have ended with his burial. Not only was Jesus dead, but he had been brutally and publicly killed in such a humiliating manner that it seemed clear to all that he was not God s Messiah. His followers had been humiliated and scattered. It was very definitely the end of the story. But it wasn t. Something happened, something that transformed Jesus followers and ultimately transformed the world, something that made the events of that Passover not the end of a story but the beginning of one. That this something was the resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the foundation of Christian belief, past and present. Christianity would not exist without the resurrection. Around AD 53, Paul wrote to Christians in Corinth: If Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your trust in God is useless. Paul was making the bold statement that the Christian faith stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus. The importance of the resurrection is still overwhelming. If the resurrection of Jesus did happen, then the implications are breathtaking. Everything the Bible says about Jesus is true: God can be known as Father, forgiveness is possible, heaven is attainable and death is just a short sleep before eternal joy. And if the resurrection of Jesus didn t happen, then the implications are equally breathtaking, but in the worst and most devastating way. Whether or not the resurrection happened isn t just a fact of history; it is a fact that changes our future. The resurrection of Jesus is not just an odd and awesome fact; it is something that overflows with consequences. The resurrection is a vindication. Imagine a man being punished for what he didn t do. If justice is to be done then he must be vindicated: the verdict must be reversed and he must be declared free of guilt. This picture applies to Jesus. The cross saw an innocent Jesus treated as a guilty man, and in the resurrection God is reversing that decision and vindicating him to his followers. By raising Jesus from the dead, God was declaring Jesus innocent and saying in an action what he had said before in words: This is my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with him. The resurrection is an authentication. Jesus made extraordinary claims. Those claims require our trust and demand our action. Inevitably, we ask whether he can be trusted. In raising Jesus from the dead, God is authenticating who Jesus is and what he said. The resurrection is God s signature on Jesus claims. The resurrection says that Jesus can be trusted with our lives. The resurrection has implications. The implications of Jesus resurrection are extraordinarily profound and far-reaching: not only are Jesus claims and teachings authenticated as true and trustworthy but our great enemies of sin, evil and death are defeated. The resurrection shows that God has accepted Jesus payment for our sin on the cross, that the power of evil has been decisively broken, that our own personal resurrection from the dead is assured. If we believe in the resurrection of Jesus, our attitudes to life, death, the future, everything, become altered. If you believe that dead people can never rise from the dead then, of course, nothing will convince you that Jesus did rise from the dead. But to take such a view is to be very confident that you know everything about how this still largely unknown universe works. And if you are at all open-minded to the possibility that Jesus might have risen from the dead, then the evidence for the resurrection is very strong. Rev. Msgr.

Brothers and sisters, If Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Praise be to God always! إنجيل القد يس مرقس 16:1-8 From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark قال مرقس البشير: ل م ا ٱن ق ض ى الس ب ت ٱش ت ر ت م ر ي م ال م ج د ل ي ة وم ر ي م أ م ي ع ق وب وس ال وم ة ط ي وب ا ل ي أ ت ين و ي ط ي ب ن ج س د ي س وع. وفي ي و م األ ح د ب اك ر ا ج د ا أ ت ي ن إ لى الق ب ر م ع ط ل وع الش م س. وك ن ي ق ل ن ف يم ا ب ي ن ه ن :»م ن ي د ح ر ج ل ن ا الح ج ر ع ن ب اب الق ب ر.» وت ف ر س ن فش اه د ن الح ج ر ق د د ح ر ج وك ان ك ب ير ا ج د ا. ود خ ل ن الق ب ر ف ر أ ي ن ش اب ا ج ال س ا ع ن الي م ين م ت و ش ح ا ح ل ة ب ي ض اء ف ٱن ذ ه ل ن. ف ق ال ل ه ن :»ال ت ن ذ ه ل ن! أ ن ت ن ت ط ل ب ن ي س وع الن اص ر ي الم ص ل وب. إ ن ه ق ام و ه و ل ي س ه ن ا. وه ا ه و الم ك ان ال ذي و ض ع وه ف يه. أ ال ٱذ ه ب ن و ق ل ن ل ت الم يذ ه و ل ب ط ر س: إ ن ه ي س ب ق ك م إ لى الج ل يل. وه ن اك ت ر و ن ه ك م ا ق ال ل ك م.» ف خ ر ج ن م ن الق ب ر و ه ر ب ن م ن ش د ة الر ع د ة والذ ه ول. و م ن خ و ف ه ن ل م ي ق ل ن أل ح د ش ي ه ا... حقا واألمان لج ميع ك م The evangelist writes, When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb? When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you. So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. This is the truth. Peace be with you.
