Ressurreição
A ressurreição é o pilar da fé cristã. Se Cristo não ressuscitou, é vã a nossa fé. Mas Ele venceu a morte, e essa é a garantia da nossa própria ressurreição.
Cristo ressuscitou
O túmulo está vazio! Os anjos declararam: 'Ele não está aqui; ressuscitou!' A ressurreição de Cristo é o fato mais transformador da história.
But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread, for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified;
he is not here, for he is risen, as he said; come ye, and see ye the place, where the Lord was laid.
Which saith to them, Do not ye dread; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth crucified; he is risen, he is not here; lo! the place where they laid him.
He is not here, but is risen. Have ye mind, how he spake to you, when he was yet in Galilee,
and said, For it behooveth man’s Son to be betaken into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.
Therefore then that disciple that came first to the grave, entered, and saw, and believed.
For they knew not yet the scripture, that it behooved him to rise again from death.
For I betook to you at the beginning [or in the first] that thing which also I have received; that Christ was dead for our sins, by the scriptures;
and that he was buried, and that he rose again in the third day, after [the] scriptures;
Ressurreição e vida eterna
Jesus disse: 'Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida.' Quem crê nele viverá, mesmo que morra. A morte foi derrotada na cruz e no túmulo vazio.
Jesus saith to her, I am again-rising and life; he that believeth in me, yea, though he be dead, he shall live;
and each that liveth [or all that liveth], and believeth in me, shall not die without end. Believest thou this thing?
for death was by a man, and by a man is again-rising from death.
For if we believe, that Jesus was dead, and rose again, so God shall lead with him them that be dead by Jesus.
For the charity of Christ driveth us; guessing [or deeming] this thing, that if one died for all, then all were dead.
And Christ died for all, that they that live, live not now to themselves, but to him that died for them, and rose again.
For if we planted together be made to the likeness of his death, also we shall be of the likeness of his rising again;
witting this thing, that our old man is crucified together, that the body of sin be destroyed, that we serve no more to sin.
Nossa esperança futura
A ressurreição de Cristo garante nossa esperança viva. O Deus de paz trouxe dos mortos o grande Pastor das ovelhas para nossa salvação.
Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which by his great mercy begat us again into living hope, by the again-rising of Jesus Christ from death,
And so baptism of like form maketh us safe; not the putting away of the filths of flesh, but the asking of a good conscience in God, by the again-rising of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And God of peace, that led out from death the great shepherd of sheep, in the blood of [the] ever-lasting testament, our Lord Jesus Christ,
shape you in all good thing [or make you able in each good work], that ye do the will of him; and he do in you that thing that shall please before him, by Jesus Christ, to whom be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.
to know him, and the virtue of his rising again, and the fellowship of his passion, and to be made like [or configured] to his death,
Blessed and holy is he, that hath part in the first again-rising. In these men the second death hath not power [or no power]; but they shall be priests of God, and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.
And I saw dead men, great and small, standing in the sight of the throne; and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and dead men were deemed of these things that were written in the books, after the works of them.
And the sea gave his dead men, that were in it; and death and hell gave their dead, that were in them. And it was deemed of each, after the works of them.
But I was helped by the help of God [till] into this day, and stand, witnessing to less and to more. And I say nothing else than which things the prophets and Moses spake that shall come,
if Christ is to suffer, if he is the first of the again-rising of dead men, that shall show light to the people and to heathen men.
Lo! we go up to Jerusalem, and man’s Son shall be betaken to princes of priests, and to scribes; and they shall condemn him to death.
And they shall betake him to heathen men, for to be scorned, and scourged, and crucified; and the third day he shall rise again to life.
