"Early on Sunday morning, as the
new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the
tomb." (Matthew 28:1 NLT)
Shortly after the women arrived and
found the empty tomb, Jesus appeared to them and said, "Look, I'm here.
It's Me! Touch Me. Tell My disciples I'm alive." Later that day He
appeared to the disciples and that appearance changed everything.
The message was clear: Neither sin, nor
hate, nor evil, nor even death would have the final word. God, in raising Jesus
from the dead, was shouting to the human race: Love has conquered hate, grace has conquered sin, hope has conquered
despair, and life has conquered death! Love, grace, hope, life -- these
have the final word because of Christ's resurrection. That is our defining
story as Christians.

Jesus
