Prawda o zmartwychwstaniu w przepowiadaniu kaznodziejsko-homiletycznym
Celary, Ireneusz (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Papieskiej Akademii Teologicznej w Krakowie, 2003)
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ constitutes a central event in the history of redemption and the basic truth of religious faith. Without the resurrection of Jesus, we would not be able to comprehend the origins and existence of Christianity since Christian religion is not only the acceptance of evangelical teaching and belief in the redemptive event of the sacrificial death of Christ, not only the experiencing of His suffering and death, but first of all the belief in the life brought by resurrected Christ The resurrection of Jesus was for the original Christianity an event of fundamental significance. It was vital for its existence and development. St. Paul leaves no doubt about it when he says: “And if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe” (1 Cor 15,14). That is why the Easter testimony constituted the centre of apostolic and early Christian preaching. It has remained the centre of Christian cult, faith and preaching until now. In preaching of the Church, resurrected Christ Himself addresses people. By preaching, the Good News about the paschal mystery of Christ reaches all times and places. Gospel, preached by Christ, is joyful news about the redemption already perfected in Christ. Those who are listening to preaching hear Christ Himself.
