Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Are there other proofs of the Resurrection of Jesus?
One of the best proofs comes from the very clear
transformation in the lives of the apostles. Leading up to the crucifixion the apostles,
except for John, lose their courage and abandon the Lord. In fact, immediately
after the crucifixion they lock themselves in the Upper Room.
But something changes the apostles from being cowards to
being bold preachers. Something transforms them. We know that such a profound
change in character could only take place because of a major influence. They
must have seen something and experienced something that changed them complete –
It was the Risen Lord.
The Bible tells us that they became zealous eyewitnesses.
The early Church grew tremendously, spreading from Jerusalem to the center of
the known world – Rome. Within a few generations Christianity had spread
throughout the Roman Empire.
Not only did the apostles become bold preachers, they also
laid down their life for the Risen Lord. Would you put your life on the line if
you were preaching a lie?
In Christ,
Msgr. Baker
