The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the essence, the pillar of our faith. If Christ had not been raised, our faith would be in vain, Saint Paul says. We would be the most wretched people. As a triumph of good over evil, the resurrection of Jesus grants new life of grace beyond death, thanks to God's love and compassion for us sinners. Jesus conquered death in himself and promised us the same:
What does resurrection mean for Jesus to grant ever-lasting life to us mortal beings? How are we involved in the mystery of Jesus' resurrection?“Whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live" (Jn 11: 25).
