"God raised this Jesus; of this we are all witnesses."
We do not have any proof of the resurrection of Christ. In other words, we have not personally seen the resurrected Christ, because he has not revealed himself to us. So if our faith in the resurrection is not grounded in proof, then in what is it grounded? It is grounded in the preaching of the apostles, who did have proof because Christ appeared to them many times after he rose from the dead. This is why St. Peter and the apostles would often say in their sermons that they were "witnesses" of the resurrected Christ.
The question for us is: how much do we believe the apostles' testimony that God raised Jesus from the dead? Do we find them to be credible sources of information about this miraculous event?
