The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth: Is it True or Hoax?

[Genaro Geneta]

The whole Christendom celebrates Easter commemorating the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. But what really happened 2000 years ago? Did Jesus, a carpenter, a rabbi, a healer and who profess to be the Son of God really rose from the grave? Or did his disciples steal the body to make it appear that there was a resurrection? Who removed the huge stone that covers the mouth of the cave and why didn't the Roman soldiers who are legendary for their discipline and bravery didn't notice such commotion? Can Jesus pushed it with the condition he was in? Was it the apostles, just so it would appear that their fallen leader, indeed, had risen back to life? But why would they lie and sacrifice their lives (most of them suffered horrible deaths) if everything was a lie?
These are just some questions that hopefully will start this discussion going and, hopefully, will start the stone rolling to open our eyes on what really happened that fateful Easter morning.

The truth is before you believe in God you have to believe on the resurrection first. Believing in God is not leaping into the unknown but by reasoning of the intellect. How come? Go ahead and research on the subject and draw your own conclusion. If you can disprove the resurrection, then don't believe in God. But if you find it to be true, how can you not believe in such a wonderful God? He who has given His own Son to die the most horrible death on the cross to save us from our sins. Why would he do that? The bible says, because He loves us, because He created us, and He wants us to be with Him. Although, we would rather be left alone, we could not escape the fact that Jesus died 2000 years ago and he said that it's because of his love for you and me. Now, it's for each and everyone of us to decide. Are we going to accept what He did for us? Are we going to believe Him? We should if truly He resurrected because nobody who ever walked on earth had ever risen again. Yes, many were pronounced clinically dead and are alive now but sooner or later will die again. But in Jesus' case, his disciples saw him alive again and He even ate with them. There were 500 disciples who saw Him rose to heaven and from this 500 witnesses originated the whole Christendom. Believers who believed not because they leaped into the unknown but because they had seen! What about the believers of today? We believe because we experience the love of God. The love that was supremely expressed when Jesus died for us, sinners, who deserve to rot in hell but were saved because of that love. Because by faith, we decided to accept the salvation that God offered as a gift. It is free and all we have to do is accept the gift of eternal life. For those who doubt, think about the veracity of the resurrection and decide for yourself if you want to accept the love of God, or you would rather be left alone.
