Theme: “The appearances of Jesus after his resurrection” Text: 1 Corinthians 15:6
6. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, and some of whom are dead.
Let's remember:
Jesus made his post-resurrection appearance to more than five hundred brethren. It would have been a single person that we would have the legitimacy to doubt the veracity of it; but it is more than five hundred eye and fact witnesses. This is real non-refutable evidence because their testimony is monotonous and therefore concordant. We are not told that these are people of his family so that we think of any falsification. This apparition comes to destroy the thesis according to which the apparitions of Jesus were hallucinations or visual disturbances. Five hundred people couldn't be wrong together and at the same time. However, this testimony is approved by the research historians and by the exegetes who have crossed the data collected on both sides. Moreover, this apparition converted many of these brethren into disciples of Christ because they could not be silent after having experienced such a wonder which has remained etched in the annals of history. Never has anyone appeared in public before such a large number of brethren at the hour when he should be in his mortal tomb. Let's loosen our tongues and confess the immutability and eternity of Jesus Christ; let us confess his Lordship and declare our flame to the King of glory who lives from age to age. Excellent Saturday. Amen Alain Louz.-
