Be glad and rejoice for He has risen from the dead....' These were the words of My Own and they believed in Me that I was Jesus Christ, the Anointed of the Lord, that I was really and truly God and had redeemed the world through My crucifixion. I had risen from the dead.... Thereby I had given them the evidence of the truth of My Words: 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up....' I had broken the power of death.... However, My resurrection was only meant to be the evidence for people that life does not end with the death of the body.... They should learn to believe in life after death, and therefore I allowed people to witness what every single soul will have to expect after its earthly demise. For everyone lacked this faith, even the priests and scribes referred to the prophets' death as evidence that even the most pious people will ultimately fall prey to death.... For they had no idea about the consequences of people's conduct, they doubted the resurrection of the soul, and therefore the teachings of the man Jesus were incomprehensible and inconvenient for them. And I wanted to clearly show people the spiritual consequences of following My teachings....
I was Lord over life and death.... During My life on earth I raised the dead and yet, people didn't believe that I had power over life and death.... And so I proved it to them, using Myself, that I was also Lord over death.... that life cannot be taken from that person who has already gained it spiritually, even if his earthly life is taken away from him....
But I also raised the physical body as a sign that nothing earthly adhered to it anymore, that it was also spiritualised and thereby had the inherent strength to arise in spiritual form.... Nothing earthly clung to My body anymore, as it had purged itself completely through appalling pain, because everything of an earthly nature had changed itself into spirit and this spirit was subsequently able to arise fully alive.... For this reason the body was able to emerge from the grave, for nothing kept it on earth....
The whole of humanity was intended to be informed of this process that, as well as why, it was possible to come back to life after physical death, for on this information.... on this faith in My resurrection.... also depends the faith in My divinity, the faith in My mission on earth as the Son of God, and, as a result of fulfilling this mission, they would attain complete union with God....
I have really and truly arisen from the dead and visibly showed Myself to My Own.... and thereby I proved to people that I had conquered death as a human being, that the one who had brought death into the world did not have the power to keep My body on earth, which, through the act of Salvation, was already clothed in a spiritual garment.... And this act of Salvation was made for the whole of humanity.... Consequently, no soul can be kept back by My adversary which - having been redeemed by My crucifixion - has escaped his power.... It need not fear death; it will arise to eternal life and can be jubilant and rejoice, for it knows that its Redeemer is alive and that He will give life to everyone who believes in Him and His resurrection....
Amen
TranslatorVeselite se in radujte, ker je vstal od mrtvih...' To so bile besede Mojih in verjeli so v Mene, da sem Jezus Kristus, Gospodov Maziljenec, da sem resnično in zares Bog in da sem s svojim križanjem odrešil svet.
Vstal sem od mrtvih...
S tem sem jim dal dokaz o resničnosti svojih besed: 'Podrite ta tempelj in v treh dneh ga bom postavil....' (Jn 2,19-21) zlomil sem moč smrti.... Vendar je bilo Moje vstajenje namenjeno le kot dokaz ljudem, da se življenje ne konča s smrtjo telesa.... Naučiti bi se morali verjeti v življenje po smrti, zato sem ljudem dovolil, da so bili priča, kaj bo morala vsaka duša pričakovati po svojem zemeljskem koncu. Kajti vsi so bili brez te vere, celo duhovniki in pismouki so omenjali smrt prerokov kot dokaz, da bodo tudi najbolj pobožni ljudje na koncu postali žrtev smrti.... Ker niso imeli pojma o posledicah ravnanja ljudi, so dvomili v vstajenje duše, zato so bili nauki človeka Jezusa zanje nerazumljivi in neprijetni.
Jaz pa sem želel ljudem jasno pokazati duhovne posledice sledenja Mojim naukom.... Bil sem Gospod nad življenjem in smrtjo.... Med svojim življenjem na Zemlji sem obujal mrtve, a ljudje kljub temu niso verjeli, da imam oblast nad življenjem in smrtjo.... Zato sem jim s pomočjo samega sebe dokazal, da sem Gospod tudi nad smrtjo.... da življenja ni mogoče vzeti tistemu, ki ga je že duhovno pridobil, tudi če mu je odvzeto njegovo zemeljsko življenje.... Toda povzdignil sem tudi fizično telo kot znamenje, da se ga nič zemeljskega več ne drži, da je bilo tudi poduhovljeno in da ima tako prirojeno moč, da vstane v duhovni obliki.... Nič zemeljskega se ni več oprijemalo Mojega telesa, saj se je z grozljivimi bolečinami popolnoma očistilo, ker se je vse, kar je bilo zemeljske narave, spremenilo v duha in ta duh je bil nato sposoben vstati popolnoma živ.... Zaradi tega je telo lahko izšlo iz groba, saj ga nič ni držalo na zemlji.... Celotno človeštvo naj bi bilo obveščeno o tem procesu, da je mogoče po fizični smrti ponovno zaživeti in tudi zakaj, saj je od te informacije.... od te vere v Moje vstajenje.... odvisna tudi vera v Mojo božanskost, vera v Moje poslanstvo na Zemlji kot Božjega Sina in kot rezultat izpolnitve tega poslanstva bodo dosegli popolno zedinjenje z Bogom.....
Resnično in zares sem vstal od mrtvih in se vidno pokazal svojim.... ter s tem ljudem dokazal, da sem kot človek premagal smrt, da tisti, ki je prinesel smrt na svet, nima moči, da bi na Zemlji obdržal Moje telo (Juda 1,9), ki je bilo z dejanjem odrešenja že oblečeno v duhovno oblačilo.... In to dejanje odrešenja je bilo storjeno za celotno človeštvo.... Zato Moj nasprotnik ne more zadržati nobene duše, ki je - ker je bila odrešena z Mojim križanjem - ušla njegovi oblasti.... Ni se ji treba bati smrti; vstala bo v večno življenje in se lahko veseli in raduje, saj ve, da je njen Odrešenik živ, in da bo dal življenje vsakomur, ki veruje vanj in v njegovo vstajenje....
Amen
