https://connect-card.com/yr4Y0g8VLBSqzKXeubjbOne of the unique aspects of Christianity, when compared to any other faith or religious movement, is that it traces its origin to one particular event, on one particular day in history.
This is not true for Buddhism or Judaism or Islam or Atheism…

There are 4 biographies of Jesus in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In all four the last week in Jesus' life is given the most attention. That is unprecedented in any biography.
Why would they be written like that?
It's because early followers insisted with remarkable unity that the one event that created the movement - that is the church - is the fact that Jesus was resurrected from the dead.

In our day many people think that the Resurrection would be good news. But if they're honest, they're not sure if it's TRUE NEWS.
The women knew it was true news.
But it took a while for them to understand that it was GOOD NEWS.

Jesus' followers believed they were finished in the wake of Jesus' execution and death...
But then 2 things happened.
First, witnesses saw that the tomb was empty.
Second, Jesus appeared to his followers.

The story of the resurrection is not just good news; it's true news.
4 statements from the angel:
Don’t be alarmed. (We do not need to fear)
You are looking for Jesus. (Your ultimate longing is for God)
He is risen! (There is victory over death)
Just as he told you. (Jesus is trustworthy)
Easter invites us to keep seeking Jesus - he is alive and loves to be found… he still loves to seek and save the lost - those looking for truth and hope.
