following_the_resurrection The Words of Jesus of Nazareth Oh fools, and slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Shouldn't Christ have suffered all of these things and then enter into his glory! Don't be faithless any longer, but believe. This is what I was telling you, when I was among you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and by the prophets and the Psalmists, concerning me: that Christ must suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day; and that repentance and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. I know where I have come from, and where I will go. You cannot tell where I have come from, or where I am going. You are from the earth. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. No one has ascended up to heaven, except he that came down from heaven, the Son of God who is in heaven. Go, tell my brothers that I will ascend to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Why are you troubled, and allowing doubt to fill your minds? Be in peace. See my hands and my feet. Touch me, and witness my resurrection; for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see I have. Because you have seen me, you believe. More blessed are you that have not seen me and believe. In a little while, the world will see me no more; but my presence will remain with you; an because I live, you will live also. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the very words of Jesus of Nazereth.
