After Jesus Christ was crucified, his body lay in the tomb of an admirer, who had been a member of the Great Sanhedrin. That political and religious body who had put him on trial and turned him over to the Roman Procurator, Pontius Pilate. Members of that group then asked that a guard be placed at the tomb, because Christ had told them he would rise from the dead.

No one had ever been resurrected. Christ raised Lazurus from an apparent death, but he was not resurrected. Resurrection happens when a person dies, his spirit leaves his body, and then the body of flesh and bones, and its spirit are rejoined, with the body never more to be subject to death.

Jesus Christ was the first person who lived on this earth to be resurrected after his death. Others had been brought back from death, but they had been restored to mortality. Christ was resurrected, which means he became immortal—never again to die. And because he overcame death, all mankind will be joined again, body and spirit, after death.

And that’s why we celebrate Easter!!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
