Did the Jesus Man die ?

On Good Friday I was reading in my monthly magazine " U.S.Catholic, " and this title caught my eye. Upon reading this essay, I learned that a little girl about three years old, asked her mother at the end of the service, "Did the Jesus Man die?" The mother answered, "Yes, honey, He died."

In our Apostle Creed that we say at mass there is a phrase that states that Jesus was a True God and a True man. He was born in a natural birth from His mother, Mary. That is how we all were born. After our birth we will live a certain number of years, then we all have to die. Now if Jesus was a true Man, then He had to die. Well it was predicted that His death would be very horrendous and break His mother's heart. My opinion is that His death had to be so severe that there would not be any question that He died.

After the three days He rose from the dead, and was alive again. He was completely healed and walking around, but the others did not recognize Him until He spoke. He went to Mary Magdaline and said, " Mary." Then she knew who He was. Why didn't she know Him because He was transformed, but His voice was the same. This happened several times later.

I personally had a similar experience after my wife died, I heard her voice about one month later speaking to me. My granddaughter-in-law heard and saw her in a dream about three days later.

So there is life after death, but our bodies will be transformed. If we are good on earth and we get to heaven, there will be complete happiness.

Happy Easter to all
