The Resurrection and Life Everlasting

All About My Catholic Faith

This is step 14: The Resurrection and Life Everlasting. I hope you were able to learn about the communion of saints and the forgiveness of sins in our previous chapter. Recall that in that lesson we talked about what the communion of saints means and what that entails. Basically, the communion of saints is the belief that we here on earth, who are the followers of Jesus, are connected with the saints in heaven and the souls in purgatory. In today's lesson, we will wrap up the section on the Apostles Creed. The final section of the Apostles Creed states: “I believe in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.” The Resurrection of Jesus is when Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. We celebrate this event each time that we celebrate Mass. This is the reason that we are followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus proved to those on earth that he certainly was God. When Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, this really and truly did prove that he was God. No mere man could ever raise themselves from the dead. The resurrection of the body, as we read about in the Apostles Creed, is when all bodies are resurrected to join their souls in heaven at the end of the world. Here are a few questions for you to think about while we go through this lesson: Is death the end of all life for us? What is our Lord doing for us in heaven? What must we do while we are here on earth? When will Jesus come again? Why must we always be prepared for death? Bible readings for this lesson: Hebrews 13: 20-21 Book of Revelation 21: 3-4 Romans 6: 3-11 Questions that will be answered: Will the world last forever? Is death the end for us? Is our life a preparation for heaven? Will Jesus come again on the last day? Will Jesus Take everyone to heaven? What is it called when Mary's body was taken into heaven? On the last day of the world, what of ours will rise again? What do you call the judgment that will be at the end of the entire world? What do you call the judgment right after we die?
