Jesus died on a cross...yet that wasn't the end of his story. The resurrection is often thought of as only a piece of evidence that Jesus is who he said he was. Yet the twist in the Christian faith is not only that Jesus did actually rise from the dead; it's what that actually means for both Jesus, and for you.

Bible reading: Luke 24:1-6 (NIV 2011)

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen!
