In raising Jesus from the dead, God is authenticating who Jesus is and what he said. The resurrection is Gods signature on Jesusclaims. The resurrection says that Jesus can be trusted with our lives. The resurrection has implications. The implications of Jesusresurrection are extraordinarily profound and far-reaching: not only are Jesusclaims 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 Jesuspayment 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.

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.

Great Sunday of the Resurrection أحد القيامة الكبير

From the letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians, I-15:12-26 رسالة القديس بولس إلى أهل قورنتس

يا إخوتي، موات لل إن كان الـمسيح يبشر به أنه قام من بين األموات، فكيف يقول بعض منكم أن ال قيامة

!فإن كان ال قيامة للموات، فٱلـمسيح أيضا لم يقم ا شهدنا على هللا أنه أقام الـمسيح، وهو ما أقامه، إن صح أن األموات ن وإن كان ٱلـمسيح لم يقم، فباطل تبشيرنا وباطل إيمانكم، ونكون نحن شهود زور على هللا، ألن

.ال يقومون !فإن كان األموات ال يقومون، فالـمسيح أيضا لم يقم

.وإن كان الـمسيح لم يقم، فباطل إيمانكم، وتكونون بعد في خطاياكم .إذا فالذين رقدوا في الـمسيح قد هلكوا

!إن كنا نرجو الـمسيح في هـذه الـحياة وحسب، فنحن أشقى الناس أجمعيناقدين .والـحال أن الـمسيح قام من بين األموات، وهو باكورة الر

.فبما أن الـموت كان بواسطة إنسان، فبواسطة إنسان أيضا تكون قيامة األموات .ال، ألنه الباكورة، مم الذين هم للمسيح، عند مجيهه أو فكما أنه في آدم يموت الـجميع، كذلك في الـمسيح سيحيا الـجميع، كل واحد في رتبته: الـمسيح

ة، ألنه ال بد للمسيح أن يملك، إلى أن يجعل هللا ك وبعد ذـلك تكون النهاية، حين يسلم الـمسيح الـملك إلى هللا اآلب، بعد أن يكون قد أبطل ل رئاسة وكل سلطان وقو .جميع أعدائه تحت قدميه

وآخر عدو يبطل هو الـموت. والتسبيح هلل دائما.

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 mis-representing 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 per-ished. 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 be-long to Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has de-stroyed 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!

From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark 16:1-8 إنجيل القديس مرقس

قال مرقس البشير:ا ٱنقضى السبت، ٱشترت مريم المجدلية، ومريم أم يعقوب، وسالومة، طيوبا ليأتين وي .بن جسد يسوعطي لم

.وفي يوم األحد باكرا جدا، أتين إلى القبر مع طلوع الشمس : .»من يدحرج لنا الحجر عن باب القبر »وكن يقلن فيما بينهن

سن فشاهدن الحجر قد دحرج، وكان كبيرا جدا .وتفرحا حلة بيضاء، فٱنذهلن .ودخلن القبر، فرأين شابا جالسا عن اليمين، متوش

: .لذي وضعوه فيه اال تنذهلن! أنتن تطلبن يسوع الناصري المصلوب. إنه قام، وهو ليس هنا. وها هو المكان »فقال لهن .»أال ٱذهبن وقلن لتالميذه ولبطرس: إنه يسبقكم إلى الجليل. وهناك ترونه، كما قال لكمعدة والذهول. ومن خوفهن لم يقلن ألحد شيها... فخرجن من القبر وهربن من شدة الر

واألمان لجميعكم حقا

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 en-trance 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.
