Human science dictates that a great claim must present great proof so any manifestation of the "extraordinary," according to scientific categories, needs to be proven through photos, videos, or material evidence; otherwise, it will be said that simple human testimony does not offer the evidence and credibility necessary to determine an extraordinary fact.

The resurrection of Jesus was the most extraordinary event in all of human history, but there is no proof according to the scientific criterion of verifying the unusual.

Jesus never bothered with human “proof”. Not only did he not offer material proof, but he chose as witnesses unlikely people to be credible guarantors of something the possible.

To give credibility to the miracle of the resurrection, Jesus instructed the disciples to love one another, to live in unity, demonstrating the testimony of the love - without fear of loving,

Nothing is worthwhile without love, as without love there is no life, for if anything could generate life, love would only be another alternative to life as existence.

Only the practice of love can validate the resurrection; for great affirmations require great proof; and therefore, love is the only testimony that the miracle of the resurrection can have.

John decreed that God is love, and also that he who loves knows God, and that he who does not love has never seen Him.

“Love one another, and the world will believe in me,” said Jesus.

What Jesus taught in John 17 is simple:

If the disciples love one another, the resurrection has happened; however, if the disciples do not love one another, it is because there was no resurrection for them; for the world will only believe in the resurrection if it sees the love practiced among those who confess Jesus; since only the miracle of love, in a world of hatred and indifference, is what testifies to the "affirmation" of the resurrection as a miracle.

Thus, the practice of love between brothers and between human beings who confess the name of Jesus is the only possible justification for the miracle of the resurrection.
