The Resurrection of Christ: the basis of our Faith
"Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power. "
- 1 Corinthians 6:14
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was the turning point in human history and is the basis of the Christian Faith. It completed the work of man's salvation and redemption by which "the gates of Heaven," closed since the sin of Adam, were again opened. The Passion, death and Resurrection of Our Lord constitute the most momentous event in the history of the world.
