(Acts 2:22–36; John 1:35–51) Reason can prove the truth of the Resurrection with its own considerations on the basis of Scripture, and the power of its arguments cannot but be recognized by an unbeliever, as long as the sense of truth has not yet been stifled in him. The believer does not require proof, because the Church of God is filled with the light of the Resurrection. Both of these pointers to truth are true and convincing. But against the considerations of reason, counter-considerations can be born and encountered, and faith can be challenged and shaken by perplexities and doubts, coming from outside and arising from within. Is there an impenetrable fence for the truth of the Resurrection? Eat. This will happen when the power of the Resurrection, received even in baptism, begins to be effectively revealed in the destruction of the corruption of the soul and body, the installation of the principles of new life in them. Such a one will walk in the light of the Resurrection, and anyone who speaks against the truth of the Resurrection will seem crazy to him, just as someone who walks by day says that it is night now.
