Celebrating Jesus Christ rising from the dead

Easter is the day when we celebrate Jesus Christ rising from the dead.

Jesus is the Son of God and heroically gave His life to die for our sins. On the third day after He died – the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday – his friends went to His grave and found that He had risen from the dead.

They saw an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

“He isn’t here!

“He has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen.”

Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who would be persecuted, die for our sins and rise on the third day (Isaiah 53).

Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin.

Easter is celebrating Jesus’ victory over death and mankind’s hope for eternal life.

The highlights behind the Easter story include Jesus’ execution, His burial and, most importantly, His rising from death.

Today, the meaning of Easter for millions of Christians is that of honouring and recognising Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, and His glorious promise of eternal life for all who believe in Him.
