Resurrection of Jesus Christ - Bible Glory

The resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after His crucifixion is the cornerstone of Christian faith. By rising from the dead, Jesus conquered sin, death, and the grave forever.

"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.'" — Matthew 28:5–6 (NIV)

The Empty Tomb on Sunday Morning

At dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and other women went to the tomb carrying spices. They found the massive stone rolled away and an angel of the Lord sitting upon it. The angel announced the glorious news: "He is not here; He has risen!"

Appearances to the Disciples & The Great Commission

Over forty days, the risen Christ appeared to Mary Magdalene, the disciples in the upper room, Thomas (who declared "My Lord and my God!"), and over 500 witnesses. Before ascending to heaven, Jesus gave the Great Commission: to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.
