The Resurrection
 


Through the wounds of the risen Christ we can see the evils which afflict humanity with the eyes of hope.

He has countered the arrogance of evil with the supremacy of his love.

The Resurrection
 


True believers obtain salvation by professing with their mouths that Jesus is the Lord and believing with their hearts that God raised Him from the dead. In this way they become part of the process by which the first Adam, worldly and subject to corruption and death, is transformed into the ultimate Adam, celestial and incorruptible. This process began with the resurrection of Christ, on which is founded the hope that we too, may one day enter with Christ into our true homeland in heaven.
