"Do not be alarmed", He said, "You are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not Here! See the place where they laid him. Go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'he is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him just as he told you.' "
Mark 16:6-7

EASTER 2009

Easter is the celebration of Jesus Christ's triumph over death.  What is the significance of Easter?  The foundation of the Christian faith is Jesus Christ--  His life, death and resurrection.  While human, Jesus lived a righteous and perfect life, sinless.  Therefore, he suffered the penalty for our sins by taking our guilt upon upon Himself and dying in our place.  His defeat of death on that first Easter morning enabling the Christian's eternal security.  
The apostle Paul says, "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.  For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection OF THE dead.  For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive....O death, where is your victory?  O death, where is your sting?"  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us thE VICTORY Through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:20-22 and 55-57)
You can read the resurrection story in Matthew 27:62-65 and 28:1-20, Mark 16:1-19, Luke 24:1-12, John 20:1-30
