Easter

What is Easter? Easter is a Christian celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. How did Jesus Christ define resurrection?

Jesus was speaking to Martha in John 11:25-26 before bringing Lazarus back to life after being dead four days. Jesus says to her:

"I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

Luke tells us an account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Luke 24:1-7 says:

"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them,"Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise."

I hope you have enjoyed reading this brief writing on Easter.
