Various Scriptures Every year on Resurrection Sunday the reason for our hope and promise of our faith is renewed by the fact of the resurrection. The four gospels give specific details about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the early arrival of women at the tomb at or before sunrise to the foot race of Peter and John upon hearing the news that Jesus was not in the tomb. The account of the Resurrection is the core fact of the Christian faith. Everything we believe in, hope for, and are promised hinges on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. If I could sum up the Resurrection in 3 simple words it would be this: JESUS IS RISEN!
