The resurrection of Jesus is not a dogma that was born in the womb of the Church, but that the Church herself was born around this faith in the Resurrected. Without this certitude, similar historical caravans following the steps of Jesus would never have made a move.
The resurrection is a consequence of the death of Jesus; that is, the resurrection not only follows chronologically after the death of Jesus, but rather the death of Jesus is the seed from which sprang the resurrection.
At the least expected moment, when the great chiefs were sleeping tranquilly after sealing the tomb and putting it under guard, precisely now, the Father enters the kingdom of death, and against all hopes, rescues his Son from death, and constituted him Lord, putting a new people of believers on the The Poor One of Nazareth move after him, and innumerable crowds from all tribes, races and nations, to the ends of the earth.
The grain of wheat, dead and buried under the earth, is not a golden spike swaying in the breeze. From death, life is born; from humiliation, glory and exaltation. The Poor One from Nazareth is now the Lord Jesus.
Jesus, resurrected and alive, is the ultimate reason for the community of disciples, for the Church and its universal transhistorical expansion.
¡Come Lord Jesus!
