Church (ICGC) said Sunday that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a myth but
a historical fact.

the empty tomb discovered by women proves that the resurrection of Christ
is not a fabricated story.

according to
him the grave never became the message, but the cross did and no one could
challenge him.

He said that
The meeting of Christ with his disciples states that he is risen, because they
bore their testimonies of his resurrection with them by adding that their
the persecutions and their horrible deaths have not changed their testimony.

The impact of
the primitive church on people is the greatest attestation of his resurrection.

Easter Sunday at the ICGC Temple of Christ on the theme "Christ our Savior is
He is resurrected, "he said.The resurrection of Christ is the present reality since he lives his
life through humans, and noted that "even though his power is at work in us,
Human beings want to accomplish alone their successes and achievements.

"Christ touches
the world through us he heals through us so as a believer you can not
Rely on your own understanding, you can not give up in the face of challenges.
No matter what happens, you can look to Christ and conquer. The resurrection is
indeed our reality so that our end is glorious. "

Pastor Otabil
said that the resurrection was the living hope, as if there was a life beyond the uterus
there is life after death.

He explained
that death was not the end but the beginning since humans escaped from the womb and
come to earth, they would escape death for eternity.

He said the
the resurrection was the eternal inheritance of every believer because God had
prepared a glorious place for all believers in heaven by adding that none of the
the most beautiful places on earth could be compared to heaven and all those who believe
in him would live forever in the presence of God
