Introduction

Is the resur­rec­tion of Jesus fact or fantasy? in fact, “many the­or­ies have been advanced, attempt­ing to show that the resur­rec­tion of Jesus was a fraud. I believe that many of the people who came up with these the­or­ies must have had two brains – one lost, and the oth­er one out look­ing for it. His­tor­i­ans have to become anti-his­tor­ic­al to invent some of their ideas.” It is very wrong for sci­ence to invest­ig­ate the resur­rec­tion of Jesus, with the sole scope of dis­put­ing it. It is a reli­gious fact, not scientific.

Jesus’ Resurrection as Challenge

Chris­ti­ans believe Jesus died and resur­rec­ted on the third day as he said. Today’s Gos­pel does not per­mit much words because the incid­ent that is com­mem­or­ated demands sol­emn-per­son­al reflec­tion. Chris­ti­ans all over the world are jubil­at­ing that Jesus’ death has taken away their sins and brought them sal­va­tion. There is no doubt about this. But is this the end of the story? Is this the end of Jesus’ mis­sion? But should Chris­ti­ans lim­it them­selves to mer­ri­ment because Jesus has died in their stead? Yes, “when the full­ness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adop­tion as chil­dren” (Gal 4:4–5). As adop­ted chil­dren, what is our mis­sion? As a mani­fest­a­tion of his fath­erly love and care, “God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him” (1John 4:9). Are we not sup­posed to show the same love to one another?

Conclusion

As you cel­eb­rate the resur­rec­tion of Jesus, I also wish you resur­rect from your dif­fi­cult moments, sick­ness, wor­ries, prob­lems, fail­ures, dis­ap­point­ments, mis­takes, betray­als, sad­ness, and lack of peace. Enjoy the feast for Jesus has giv­en you reas­on to do so. But as you enjoy, remem­ber the less priv­ileged. God bless you! Happy East­er! Buona Pasqua! Sha­lom!
