The Resurrection is the event that changed history. It’s not a theory but a fact. It’s not an invention but a verification. The first incredulous followers, doubtful towards the fact, bent to the evidence. They were accustomed, due to their culture, to accepting after having verified. Luke transmits the word of the Risen Christ who orders to certify the seriousness of his live body with the expression “pselafésate” which literally means “pinch me, touch me not superficially”. Every man, like the Son of Man, no longer has a destiny – death – but a destination: a home, in God’s embrace, that welcomes His Son and all of us, sons in His Son.
