According to the New Testament, Jesus, after being crucified, died and was buried. However, on the third day, he miraculously rose from the dead. This event is not just a historical footnote; it’s considered the ultimate victory over sin and death.
Why is this significant?
Proof of Divinity: The resurrection is seen as confirmation of Jesus’s claims of being the Son of God.
Hope for Eternal Life: Christians believe that through faith in Jesus, they too can have eternal life.
Foundation of Faith: The resurrection is the central tenet of Christian belief. Without it, much of the rest of Christian doctrine would crumble.
So, while enjoying the Easter traditions, remember the core message: He is risen! A message of hope, renewal, and eternal life.
