RECEIVE the risen Savior into your life by faith. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3: 16).

His resurrection was the ultimate proof of who he is and What he promised.
But on the third day, as Jesus had foretold, he arose to live, talk, and show himself again to hundreds of people (1 Corinthians 15: 3-6).
This wonderful man whom his followers hoped would be the Messiah--the anticipated righteous King sent from God to rule their nation--was brutally seized, tried, tortured and left to die on a cross.
With him lay the expectations of all who had followed him.
