We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and (in) Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree.
This man God raised (on) the third day and granted that he be visible,
not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.
To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Acts 10:39-43 NABRE)
Because he rose and they were his witnesses, we still remember today! And each day, we are a day closer to his return!
Today, on this Easter Sunday, I will remember that He is risen!
Lazarus, friend of Jesus who reminds to be certain that Jesus waits to raise us too, pray for us.
