Luke 24:1-35

On the third day after His crucifixion, some women came to finish anointing Jesus' body with spices and perfumes. The tomb was empty and there were angels who told them Jesus wasn't there and He had risen as He said He would. Later, Jesus appeared to two of His followers as they were traveling and spoke with them. They did not recognize Him at first, but when they did, He vanished.

Jesus showed He had power over death and the grave. If He had not risen on the third day as He said, His death would have been meaningless. Because He lives, we know His promise that we will be resurrected to live with Him forever will be kept.
