^” He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.” Without the resurrection, the Christian faith is nothing. It would be just like all the other religions. But Jesus did not stay in the tomb, He rose, and defeated death, and then having been seen by about 500 witnesses, He ascended to the right hand of God up in heaven. He will come back some day and the Christians shall ascend and meet him in the sky, and we shall ever be with him for all of eternity. Hallelujah, HE IS RISEN!
