Publisher's description: -

The resurrection of our Lord is the single greatest event in history. Had the Lord merely died, He would have been considered a great teacher and a moral leader, but He would not have proven Himself God. By coming out of the grave, He triumphed over death and hell, showed His sacrifice on the cross as being acceptable to God, and gave hope of eternal life to everyone who puts their trust in Him.

His enemies killed Him and put Him in a tomb. They sealed the tomb with a huge stone and even placed a guard around it so that no one could disturb the body. With that, they thought they had consigned Jesus Christ to the grave forever. But God's mighty power of life was greater than all the strength of mankind, and that power broke open the tomb, moved the great stone, and lifted Jesus to life anew.

Every other religious leader lies buried in the earth. Abraham's body is in his tomb. Mohammed lies dead and buried. Buddha, Confucius, Zoroaster, and all the others who have attempted to lead men and women into a new relationship with God could not defeat death. But Jesus Christ, in what is one of the best documented facts in history, rose victorious from the grave. In this troubled world today, we can take hope in the risen Christ.
