King James Version
25 Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection,
and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die.
Believest thou this?
How little we know, of the mysteries of CHRIST!
And of the grave disservice given Him.
Which He literally carried to His grave -- to a point.
Of how they called the Lord, the deceiver, upon His death.
Matthew 27:62-63
King James Version
62 Now the next day,
that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 Saying,
Sir,
we remember that that deceiver said,
while he was yet alive,
After three days I will rise again.
And of how Pilate became uncertain, and afraid, lest he suffer public disgrace.
Matthew 27:64
King James Version
64 Command therefore
that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third day,
lest his disciples come by night,
and steal him away,
and say unto the people,
He is risen from the dead:
so the last error
shall be worse than the first.
And of how he took extra precautions.
Matthew 27:65-66
King James Version
65 Pilate said unto them,
Ye have a watch:
go your way,
make it as sure as ye can.
66 So they went,
and made the sepulchre sure,
sealing the stone,
and setting a watch.
And of how Jesus fulfilled Scripture anyway.
Matthew 28:1-7
King James Version
28 In the end of the sabbath,
as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And,
behold,
there was a great earthquake:
for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back the stone from the door,
and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning,
and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake,
and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women,
Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus,
which was crucified.
6 He is not here:
for he is risen,
as he said.
Come,
see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly,
and tell his disciples
that he is risen from the dead;
and,
behold,
he goeth before you into Galilee;
there shall ye see him:
lo,
I have told you.
And exactly as the angel announced, they met the Lord.
Matthew 28:9
King James Version
9 And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold,
Jesus met them,
saying,
All hail.
And they came and held him by the feet,
and worshipped him.
The Resurrection of Jesus simply shows He is our one, true HOPE.
He has set the pattern for us.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
King James Version
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren,
concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
How little we really know of Christ.
Unless, and until we become born again.
Then, the Spirit of God will complete our education.
Unless Jesus died, He cannot be resurrected.
What man designed as a grave disservice to the Lord, the Lord merely used to REVEAL His power over death, and the devil -- transforming us all, and giving hope, where there is hope.
Hebrews 2:14
King James Version
14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death
he might destroy him
that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
Spirit also led me to these two videos yesterday.
Know the difference between man-made creation, and God-given knowledge.
On Easter, calendars, Sabbath, and testifying verses.
It's time we all came to know the TRUTH of the LORD.

Bible DISCOVERY 21: WHO Resurrected CHRIST?
NOTE: Much has been written about Easter, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I waited for the Holy Spirit to tell me what to write.
I needed a legitimate handle on the Resurrection, in a way that pleased the Lord.
This article is the result of such waiting.
