Christians' Beliefs About The Death of Jesus and Life After Death

The idea that Jesus died and then was alive once again is stated

clearly in the gospels and in other books of the testament .Paul in

his letters made clear that Jesus did rise from the dead. In the first

letter he wrote to Corinthians he gave a list of people who saw Jesus.

The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus were the great events on

which the whole Christian Gospel is based on. For some people it seems

that the Belief in the resurrection has no place in the modern world,

resurrection of Jesus is of the highest importance to Christians

today. Some Christians believe that the body of Jesus actually rose,

physically. Others that the sort of resurrection is difficult to

accept- or doesn't matter anyway.

Christians believe that the risen Jesus is always with them, as he

promised he would be.

Jesus was the person seen by Christians as making the ultimate

self-sacrifice

the respect he had for his people. Jesus was scared near the end of

his life on earth and even prayed that god might spare him of his

suffering; 'Father ............My Father! All things are possible for

you. Take this cup of suffering away from me (Mark 14:36).

blasphemy.

Jesus accepted his death knowing that the suffering he would

inevitably endure would give people faith and hope.
