Jesus came and died on the cross 2,000 years ago. The good news is Jesus’ death was not the end. On Sunday morning His tomb was empty. Jesus had risen from the dead. “For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.” John 20:9 KJV. The people in Jesus’ time didn’t fully understand that the scriptures had taught that God would rise from the dead. When Jesus rose from the dead many people were shocked. There had been people claiming to be the Messiah in Jesus’ time but all once they died it was the end of their ministry. The uniqueness of Jesus’ was that He was seen alive by thousands of people just a few days after death on the cross. Jesus’ rising from the dead is proof that He was and is God. We should remain strong in faith Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”. Praise God for Jesus and the free gift of salvation. Amen
