The Resurrection The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the greatest proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. If the resurrection did not take place‚ then Christianity is a false religion built on lies. If it did take place‚ then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth. Without the resurrection‚ it is quite certain there would have been no Christian church. Did Christ

------------------------------------------------- The fact of Christ’s resurrection The main sources which directly attest the fact of Christ’s Resurrection are the Four Gospels and the Epistles of St. Paul. Easter morning is so rich in incident‚ and so crowded with interested persons‚ that its complete history presents a rather complicated tableau. It is not surprising‚ therefore‚ that the partial accounts contained in each of the Four Gospels appear at first sight hard to harmonize. But whatever exegetic view

Jesus lived out the parable of the sower in Matthew 5:1-23. Jesus sowed the seed of the Word of God with many and some of the seed fell on the pathway‚ some on rocky ground‚ some on thorn infested ground and some on good soil.

The basic structure of Luke’s Gospel is fairly chronological

In Nazareth‚ Jesus defined His mission by claiming that God was fulfilling the words of Isaiah :61:1-2 through Jesus’ healing‚ liberating actions. There He met rejection and anger. In Capernaum‚ on the other hand‚ the townspeople wanted Him to stay there and be their local healer. Yet Jesus followed steadfastly a course that He and God chose. He did not allow either human popularity or rejection to govern His actions. Jesus healed many people and they were struck with awe and wonder. His acts bore
