Resurrection

The Resurrection The mythology of resurrection can be intriguing. Humans, for centuries, have tried to find hope and security in powers out of our control. The idea of pleasing and gaining relations with the mysterious powers that control the world around us has evolved over generations due to it being a natural instinct that we find the meaning to life. Despite the fact that many of these religious stories are similar, most were created at different times. Many of us emerge a belief in a life after death, thus creating the idea of a resurrection. When many of us think of religion, we immediately think of the story of Jesus, son of God. How many of us think about other religious figures, such as Osiris? Resurrection is one of the few things…

IV. The Call for the Reconsideration of the Historicity of the Bodily Nature of Jesus’s Resurrection and Its Eschatological Implications Thus, I now turn to the matter of the historical credibility of Jesus’ “bodily resurrection” and its eschatological implications. Unlike Peacocke and Keller’s view of the bodily resurrection of Jesus, it is “credible” or “well-motivated belief” that the resurrection of Jesus was a “bodily” event that happened to Jesus based on the two traditions of many…

Resurrection Life Easter was my father’s most favourite time of year, and it became increasingly so as he grew older. His spirit identified with nature as it came to life again after the desolation and cold of a long Manitoba winter. Each new flower species, from crocus to daisy, heralds new life after death. Unless a seed dies, God cannot give it a new body. When I was doing my first term of Clinical Pastoral Education at University Hospital in Saskatoon, SK, a World War Veteran was assigned…

This essay will demonstrate that the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is historically accurate. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul states the “first importance” in Christianity is that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, He rose on the third day, and He appeared to 500+ people after his resurrection. If these things did not happen then Christianity would be false. The resurrection of Jesus is historically accurate and has proofs that back it up. This will be demonstrated by science,…

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is considered by most Christians to be the central tenet of the Christian doctrine. The events that occurred after his crucifixion and subsequent interment in the tomb have raised numerous questions and have been the subject of debate among believers and non-believers for centuries. The Gospels of the New Testament, written in first and second centuries, are the primary source for understanding the events surrounding the resurrection of Christ. It is the limited…

incarnation and the power of Jesus’s resurrection and the relationship of Jesus and God and man. Wolfhart Pannenberg here looks and analyses the contrasting theories between the Alexandrian fusion of Jesus with God and Antiochene separation between Jesus and God. He demonstrate that neither side was able to express and justify the unity or duality of Christ. Theological ideas at stake Pannenberg says “The teaching about Jesus Christ lies at the heart of every Christian theology”[ Wolfheart…

In my opinion the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event in the history of humanity. And why is that, because it allows everybody who has accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior to have everlasting life. On December 25, A.D. God sent his one and only son, in his image, to spread his word and teach his truths. Jesus performed miracles such as making the blind see and helping the lame to walk. He performed such miracles as feeding five thousand people by…

One of the most Puzzling questions for centuries among Biblical scholars, laypeople and people of all professions is the question of what happened to Jesus Christ. W ho is Jesus Christ and where is Jesus if his body is not in the tomb? The truth lies within the Christian faith, which is that Jesus is the Son of God and was resurrected. There are many who do not believe in the resurrection because there were no eye witnesses who saw what happened to Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most puzzling part of…
