He
arose from the dead:
Luke 24:1-7, On the third day of the week, very early in the
morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered,
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that
gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In
their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the found, but the two men
said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; He has risen! Remember
how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must
be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be
raised again.’ ” (NIV)
