When Mary Magdalen and some other women arrived at the tomb, they saw that
the entry stone had been rolled away.
There appeared two men in dazzling garments where Jesus had been laid.
The two angels told the women He had risen as He had foretold.
He went to Emmaus and recounted for them all the scriptures, from Moses
through the prophets, which referred to Him.
When He had seated Himself with them to eat, He took bread, pronounced the
blessing, then broke the bread and began to distribute it to them. With that
their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, whereupon He vanished from
their sight.
He appeared several times to the apostles over the course of 40 days and
gave them the power to baptize and forgive sins.
Christ died to bring us to new life.
He came that we might have life to the full.
The good news is that Jesus has died and that He has risen.
