THE STORY OF EASTER

The story of Easter is one of persecution and rebirth, making it the central experience of the Christian belief system. On the Friday before Easter, Christians believe that Jesus was executed by crucifixion. His body was removed from the cross and buried in a guarded cave, with a large boulder blocking the entrance.
On the following Sunday, Jesus' gravesite was visited by faithful women and his mother Mary may have been among them-who discovered that the cave was empty. Later that day and for several days after, Jesus' followers sighted him and came to believe that Jesus had been risen from the dead by God.
Jesus' resurrection holds central importance in Christian liturgy, as the pinnacle expression of sin and redemption. Romans 4:25 explains that, "Jesus was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification."
Jesus' resurrection - his being "raised" - is understood as evidence that he, through his righteousness, can redeem not only himself in death, but also the entire Christian community in life. As Romans 5:18 says: "Just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men."
EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY, THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE SO REJOICE AND BE GLAD IT IS.
Happy Easter and Happy Resurrection Day to all.
