Today is day 69 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the ninth line: “On the third day He rose again” and studying question 69.
69. What does the Creed mean when it affirms that Jesus rose again from the dead?
It means that Jesus was not simply resuscitated; God restored him physically from death to life in his resurrected body, never to die again. His tomb was empty; Jesus had risen bodily from the dead. The risen Jesus was seen by his apostles and hundreds of other witnesses. (Psalm 30:1–5; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–18; Acts 1:3; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8)
We will conclude today with the First Collect of Easter Day found on page 609 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
