1100 The Resurrection
I believe in Jesus Christ, who descended among the dead, and on the third day rose again.
Our faith is founded on the testimony of eyewitnesses to the resurrection. It is the faith of the apostles, handed down from age to age. They were plain men, simple and unlearned. They did not offer eloquence, or profound insights, or worldly wisdom, but the paradox of the cross, and victory over sin and death in the raising of Jesus from the dead.
This cross and resurrection is a stumbling block to the world. But it is the way chosen by God to bring all things to fulfillment.
The world may pity us for our simple faith, but we rejoice in this mighty deed of the Lord.
