Matthew 28:1-10, Mark 16:1-11, Luke 23:56–24:12, and John 20:1-18 tell the world-changing story of Jesus’ resurrection. Early on the first day of the week, women came to the tomb expecting to mourn, but instead found the stone rolled away and the grave empty. Angels announced the incredible news: “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said!”

The resurrection is the foundation of our faith. It proves that Jesus is who He claimed to be—the Son of God, the conqueror of sin and death. His victory means that darkness, despair, and even death itself do not have the final word. Because Jesus lives, we have hope that endures through every trial and promise of new life that begins now and lasts forever.

The risen Jesus appeared to His followers, turning their fear into joy and their doubt into bold faith. He called them by name, walked with them, and commissioned them to share the good news. The resurrection is not just an event to remember—it’s a reality to live by every day.

No matter what you’re facing, resurrection power is available to you. Jesus brings life where there was only loss, hope where there was only despair, and victory where there was only defeat.

As you reflect on the resurrection, let the truth of Jesus’ victory fill you with courage, joy, and an unshakable hope.
