The Resurrection
of the Lord Jesus
by Don Jibaro Barbanegra

he resurrection of Jesus is the pillar of the Christian Religion. Without it, there's no Promise and all the Scriptures and the Prophets becomes a mere fable. We can safely say that because Christ lives, we can hope for a peaceful tomorrow, since we haven't had lasting peace within the last 3,500 years.

If there's testimony present in credible accounts of the historical record of Christ’s resurrection, we have satisfied a major evidentiary challenge under traditional rules, since history demands authentication. But the fact is that we do have multiple eye-witness testimonies regarding the resurrection of Jesus. The Apostle Paul established the following:

“I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures; that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles.

Then he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died. Then he appeared to James, and afterward to all the apostles. Last of all he appeared also to me---even though I am like someone whose birth was abnormal.

For I am the least of all the apostles---I do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted God's church.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-9)

Manuscript studies indicate that this was a very early creed of the Christian faith, written within a few years after the death of Jesus Christ, so it’s dramatic that Paul stresses the passage with “most of whom are still alive.” He was inviting people to check out the facts and  wouldn’t have included a statement like that if he was trying to hide something like a conspiracy, hoax, myth or legend.

Moreover, the followers of Jesus went throughout the land, preaching and baptizing, telling everyone how one day all the new bodies of those who have trusted God and believed in Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be raised from the dead and, together with those of us who are alive, will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Sounds fantastic? It is... but it is also a promise, since you have to believe the whole Bible or none of it at all.


The resurrection of Jesus is challenged today on "evidentiary" grounds.
Therefore, to be fair, the evidence should be judged like any other historical event.

And the name written on his thigh will be "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS". The armies which are in heaven will follow him upon white horses. And Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives (just as the prophet Zechariah said), and the mountain will divide. And Christ will reign over all the earth... and when a thousand years expire, Satan will once more go out to deceive the nations, but fire will come down from God and devour those who follow Satan. Do you believe it? Well, it's that or nothing at all

There's more... and that Satan, the deceiver, will be thrown into the lake of fire and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And then, in front of a great white throne, the dead, both small and great, will stand before God; and who ever is not found written in the Book of Life will be thrown into the lake of fire. And that we will all stand before God, the great white throne judgment; and who ever is not found written in the Book of Life will be thrown into the lake of fire.

And that a new heaven and a new earth, God will be with His people. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. And there shall be no night and no need for candles, nor light from the sun; because the glory of God and the lamb will be the light; and They shall reign for ever and ever. And that the Tree of Life will be there and the curse on mankind will be gone.

And that: "He that hears My word, and believes on Him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not be condemned; but is passed from death unto life."

Christ is Lord of ALL or NOT at all. Now, DO YOU BELIEVE IT? This is God's Story, Boricua... You'd better believe it.
