Jesus rose from the dead.
He is risen,
as He said.
And that he rose again
the third day
according to the scriptures.
He is not here:
for he is risen.
The resurrection of Jesus is the victory over death. He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. The tomb was empty. He appeared to many witnesses. The resurrection declares Him to be the Son of God with power and is the guarantee of the believer’s resurrection. Without the resurrection, faith is vain and we are yet in our sins. Because He lives, we shall live also. He is risen.
