Reflection
The Bible presents Jesus not as a myth but as a real person who entered our world. The Word became flesh (John 1:14), meaning the divine took on tangible human form. His death is recorded with historical precision: "When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 'It is finished,' and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit" (John 19:30). The resurrection, proclaimed by the angel at the empty tomb, "He is not here, for he has risen, just as he said" (Matthew 28:6), confirms that he truly conquered death, making his reality undeniable.
