The Resurrection Of The Messiah

The Resurrection of the Messiah: Triumph Over Death

In a world teeming with death, despair, and fleeting hope, the resurrection of YHWShA Ha Maschiach stands as a beacon of unparalleled significance. This wasn’t just an event—it was a cosmic turning point, one that left humanity’s greatest enemy, death, humiliated and defeated.

A Moment Like No Other

This resurrection was no mere parlor trick designed to entertain or deceive. It was real. The evidence? An empty tomb. A body transformed. Witnesses who would sooner face death themselves than recant their claims. The Apostle Paul aptly named YHWShA the firstfruits of a new creation—a foretaste of a restored world where heaven and earth are finally made one. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, “But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”

Historical Echoes: Evidence of the Resurrection

For those who pride themselves on skepticism, let’s take a closer look at the historical evidence. Roman historian Tacitus, no friend to early Christians, acknowledged the existence and persistence of their movement. The Jewish historian Josephus, in his work Antiquities of the Jews, recorded YHWShA’s crucifixion, followed by the perplexing claim that His followers declared Him alive again. These accounts, external to the faith itself, lend credibility to the narrative.

And what about the apostles? Here were men who fled in terror when YHWShA was arrested. Yet, something transformed them from cowards into bold proclaimers of His resurrection. They endured persecution, imprisonment, and even martyrdom for their unwavering testimony. Such a dramatic shift cannot be easily dismissed. Acts 2:32 records the Apostle Peter declaring, “God (Alohim) has raised this YHWShA to life, and we are all witnesses of it.”

The Call to Action: Living the Resurrection

But the resurrection isn’t just an invitation to marvel at a miracle. It’s a call to action. It’s a summons to labor in Alohim’s kingdom now—to live as though death has lost its sting and no longer holds the final word. As written in 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

The Apostle Paul’s words resonate deeply: “If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” But YHWShA’s resurrection declares a different truth. It compels us to rise up, to work, to build lives that reflect the glory of the coming new creation.

Eternity Awaits: Where Will You Stand?

And now, the question falls to you. When the day of resurrection dawns—and it will come—will you stand among the righteous, those who embraced Alohim’s call and lived in alignment with His kingdom? Or will you find yourself unprepared, swept away by the tide of eternity?

The resurrection isn’t just an event of the past. It’s a challenge for the present and a promise for the future. So, consider carefully. As John 11:25-26 says, “YHWShA said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?’”

Eternity has a way of sneaking up on us all.
