By Charlie McKinney, SpiritualDirection.com - ".. the Paschal Mystery is so central to the Christian Faith. I will do this by relying much on certain key passages of the New Testament. The point is not to prove that Jesus rose from the dead, but to explain why Jesus’ death and resurrection are so important to the Christian Faith. As if everything we have discussed thus far were not enough, the resurrection is the reason why Christians refer to faith in Jesus Christ as “good news.” Christianity is not just a code of ethics or a practice of life. We believe that in Christ, God has enacted a complete transformation of the human condition."
