Yes, Jesus Christ is truly risen and
we are witnesses of this!
Evidence of the Resurrection
A question is always asked about the evidences of the Resurrection
of Jesus Christ. Is there any, or only “blind faith”?
We read in the stories of the Resurrection in the Gospel, mainly
about the Empty Tomb. We hear too from the Gospel according to
St. John, about the Burial Cloths found in the empty tomb.
The other Gospels talk about the different Appearances of Jesus
Christ after the Resurrection. However the Acts of the Apostles tells
us about The Life of the Disciples/Martyrs after the Ascension of
Jesus Christ into Heaven. The witnesses of the Resurrection though
not in person but in their personal relationship with a living God.
The many witnesses and martyrs after and through the years. This
personal experience of the Risen Jesus Christ is the only evidence of
the Resurrection!
