‘He is not here; he has risen!

Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 

‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners,

Then they remembered his words.’

Luke 24: 6 – 8 (NIV)

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

1 Corinthians 15: 55 – 57 (NIV)

 

One perfect man was the supreme sacrifice for all.  The unblemished Lamb of God shed His blood on the cross to pay for all our mistakes and wrong-doings.

His glorious resurrection fulfilled the prophesy of the Scriptures, verified the exact words that he told His disciples, and provided the ultimate proof that He is truly The Son of God, the Messiah.  Because He lives, death has been conquered, the grave has no power over His children, and and all who believe in Jesus will live with Him for all of eternity.

‘The Lord says,
