He is risen, indeed!
“it is hard to imagine belief in a risen Jesus getting very far if one could easily point to the grave in which he was still present.” - Peter Williams
Dear Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins and raising again from the grave. Amen!
Scriptures
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is worth nothing. 1 Corinthians 15:14
..very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb...they found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes. The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.” Luke 24:1-7
Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before...I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day..He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive..Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him. 1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-8
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16-17
“No eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and no mind has ever imagined the wonderful things that God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
..that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection... Philippians 3:10
Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! 1 Peter 1:3-4
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
