Today is Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection Sunday or Pascha in Greek, when Jesus Christ arose from the dead. It is a wonderful celebration, and many people are joyous and happy to witness a day like this. It commemorates what Jesus said while He was still on earth, in Matthew 20:18-19.
There are many passages in the bible that talks about the Resurrection of Christ on the third day after His death on the cross. When Jesus was still on earth, He told His disciples as they were on their way to Jerusalem, that He was going to be handed over to the chief priests and teachers of the law. He said He would be condemned to death, mocked, flogged and crucified on the cross but on the third day, He would arise from the dead to life.
Years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote that the Messiah would come to the world, suffer and die for our sins but will be raised to life on the third day.
If Jesus did not rise from the dead, as He had promised to His disciples, then His sermons about forgiveness and hope for eternity in Heaven would have been in vain. Jesus Christ proved His own words by His resurrection from the dead.
Christians all over the world celebrate this day as they believe that Christ has arisen from the dead, and this proves that there is life after death. Life with God in Heaven.
